Assignment: Blog about your impressions and experiences with social networking.
Social networking not new to me. Even though I started out keeping things personal (not "friending" colleagues and such), it is now a mesh of personal and professional. This means that I have to be careful with what I post! I wouldn't even dream of posting illicit-type things anyway, but knowing my audience does make me pause before adding certain Facebook applications or saying something silly on MySpace. In the social networking world, there are not only privacy concerns, but audience concerns. I just don't put out anything about myself that I wouldn't want the whole world to see.
All social networking sites (even Ravelry!) are blocked at work, so we have never considered having a Facebook or MySpace page. At this point, I don't think it's necessary. If these sites were available to us, we might consider it.
Overall, I enjoy social networking sites. They're a fun way to connect with people, as long as you are aware that others may be watching you as well.
