Colliding Worlds! Have you been
challenged by the merging of your
business and personal lives in social
networking? 
I've discovered that it's difficult to
keep my business and personal lives separate, so I've resigned myself
to the fact that these two elements of my life will collide in social
networking situations.
My life is relatively boring so this is not a big deal for me. I'm involved with many social networking groups, but tend to be most active on Facebook, with LinkedIn, Plaxo and Twitter following behind. I have people following me on Twitter, but to date, I've yet to be an active "tweeter." There are only so many hours in the day!
Reflecting on the old Seinfeld episode that humorously referred to "Colliding Worlds," it's important to note that your business and personal worlds can collide through social networking. Knowing this, it's not a great idea to post a picture of your Friday night at the bar slamming shots. This "might" have a negative effect on your business. The key thing to remember is that what you post will be seen by everyone.
