Monster tries to muscle in on LinkedIn with an app on Facebook

[cojak]

Something called BeKnown. Mixing social with professional???

Commercial suicide I tells ya!

I have a Chinese Wall between Facebook and LinkedIn. I have no connections/Likes to Professional Orgs or Vendors on FB and I don't join 'I hate the Glazers' groups on LinkedIn.

And I only have fellow contractors (who are friends) on FB.

Anyone who's drank with me while wearing a pirate's outfit basically....

Don't you have any other friends? I only have a couple of fellow contractors on there, the rest are normal people. Well, normalish.

I just saw this today, keeping well away, personal and business never mix.

(I have even gone a bit OTT and taken down my persoanal website while I am looking for a contract so it can't drop me in it if I'm googled lol)

Yep, I have normal friends - I'm talking in a business context (Pirate outfit an' all).

You'd be surprised how many people already post all sorts of social stuff to LinkedIn. Some people have obviously seen that you can connect Twitter to Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz etc and just drive everything from one source. I end up seeing some friends' updates 3 or 4 times. I'm like Cojak, complete separation between personal and professional, and keep Facebook locked down so that potential clients can't see photos of me stumbling around clutching a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I make a point of not using facebook and only use LinkedIn for business purposes.

I too have a Chinese wall between LinkedIn and Facebook. There's only a few people who are connections\friends on both. It's not just that I have abolutely no wish to mix the two, but it's also quite impractical. My permie work colleagues knowing about my home life? Not in a million years would I want that.

This is actually one of the (or possibly only) interesting thing about Google+. You can make up circles or lists which you add people to, and then you can share things with only a particular group. So you could have a Friends circle and a Colleagues circle, and share completely different things with each group. Facebook assumes you want everyone to see everything.
