You are very honest and I have a lot to learn from this blog!!! I'm not quite sure how I feel about Twitter right now ... I'm rarely behind a computer and it's not really accessable via my handheld. I can see where it is a great tool, but it kind of feels like you have to be chained behind a computer to really get good use out of it.

For someone like me, I like to keep my various web personas (and there are several) separate, but I also like to compound my contacts. For instance, as an author, many co-authors like to band together and follow each other on various social networking sites. Because some, like Twitter, can present a challenge to finding others, I've had several people tell me that the only way to find me there was to visit my blog and go through my Twitter updates. So it's not all bad... I'm not sure I agree with all the reasoning behind your assertion that it is not good to mashup various forms of social media.

Initially the article was about the news feed on Facebook instituted in 2006 but as it turns out was as much about Twitter and other social media communication tools. I didn't realize they had a name for it - "ambient awareness". It's a great article.

Well this post already has like 41,000 comments, but I just wanted to say you make a really great point. And when you talk about your friend at Google not wanting to dilute his professional searches with Myspace photos, it got me thinking. My cousin recently asked me to remove all my photos with him from my Flickr account - mostly from family occasions and memories of me and him having a great time in London/Amsterdam. I don't think I even have one picture of him holding a beer (!), but because an old coworker of his came across his photo online, he's worried about it. I despise the fact that in our culture, our professional "brand" in the workplace dictates how we live the rest of our lives. Hey Penelope!

An excellent post, Penelope, as usual. Understanding that each community has a different experience is something that everyone needs to assess before they join. One-size-fits-all messaging doesn't work in this game, and can hurt your personal (or corporate) brand. I'm late to the party, but that's normal.
