[...] Facebook is awesome. Its hard to deny that. I use it (like most people) to connect with friends and family near and far. But I also use it for my business connections and for networking. Its a good idea to keep these two groups separate. Here’s a blog post I wrote some time back about why to keep your personal and business Facebook activity separate. [...]

Hi Brian,

What are your criteria to connect on LinkedIn?

I found your work very interesting and was wondering, if you would be interested in helping me to answer a few questions to be used in my bachelor thesis about “how to create value through actively utilizing your network”.

I’m writing about EGN Singapore, a company specialized in professional networking, learning and knowledge sharing for top executives in Singapore (CEOs, CFOs and Directors) (http://sg.egnnet.com/) – maybe this could be an interesting forum for you to gain exposure?

I hope you will look positive at my request for the mutual benefit for both of us. Please add me on linkedIn or contact me per mail to begin our corporation.

I look forward to hearing from you

Best wishes,

Mathilde Kjaergaard Jakobsen

Hi, Brian. Just wanted to let you know your Facebook link at the end of your post is actually the same as your Twitter link. I tried to go to your FB page to friend you. (JK) Thanks for the helpful article, I’m still learning how to use Twitter and FB to advantage.

I totally agree. Understandable. Initially I also had this “unbiased”, “no-discrimmination” policy of accepting friends until wierd profiles started flowing in. There's still a list awaiting me to accept or ignore. Not an easy job to filter, really.

Yes. Its amazing how far Facebook and Twitter have both come. It was hard to see how to manage all this in the beginning. But hey, that's how we learn right. This will probably have to change again in another year or two haha!

Very true Brian.
I have been very strict with my facebook profile. Close friends only for my private profile and the rest goes to my fanpage (which is mostly business related, although I do have some close friends who I have a business relationship as well).
Close friends is pretty similar to your description. I have met them or have connected with them through another close friend.

One of the main reasons I do this is that I want to avoid promoting products, articles etc to my friends that they probably aren't really interested in.
People join my fanpage because they are interested in hearing more about what our business can offer.
