This is very informative and a good source for those who are not sure how to approach this dilemma. I have recently began to use Twitter for both personal use and professional with separate accounts for each. My personal Twitter has a little bit of everything like my hobbies, sports, sharing cool stuff I find on the web. Our professional Twitter account only has relevant info posted to it in addition to job postings we have. LinkedIn has been a great resource for me and while some say LinkedIn may be losing its luster, I completely disagree. I think if used correctly this can be a way for you to elevate yourself from your fellow coworkers or sales team. Facebook is a whole different story. I am very careful who I invite or accept to be friends from my professional relationships. The reason being is that I have over 500 friends going back to my days in high school and college, and I cannot control what they put on my wall or what pictures they post of me from the college days. It would be great if you wouldn't have to worry about that, but you do. If you want to use Facebook for your business or to promote an event my suggestion is to set up a fan page and handle everything from that. Thank you John.

This does seem to be an issue that many organizations are facing becasue so many of us start using social media as an experiment and then we want to begin to use it seriously. The best way to make that transition can be tricky. Please let me know if you want to talk further. John Bill,
