Social networking in the corporate setting has its downturns as well as the positives. LinkedIn is a popular networking site where people of corporate companies can add each other and "link up". Facebook is a site where anyone in the world can "link up" and find personal information about the particular person. Sharing interests, hobbies, work, etc. are all positive things two people may share but the privacy issue arises. Sexual harassment and pictures you dont want to be seen are passed around and it causes a rift in work relationships as seen here (http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/681635). Hopefully in the future, people will learn to know when to separate professional and personal lives on the internet. It is a gateway to many intrusions and situations that a person would not want to be in.

You are right, I think is very important to make a distinction from professional and personal roles.
ReplyDeleteEverything you publish on the net may haunt you back.
I agree as well. I actually know people who have two different social network accounts, for professional and then for personal use. Their content, friends, etc. would be different.
