While I do keep separate accounts as stated above, I must admit that I do mix some personal communication with the professional. Heck, I am human and a social creature by nature so being personable only enhances the professional (smile). I like to add value with each social media outreach (blogging, Twitter, FB, etc), so I refrain from the "what soda I am drinking now" updates.

I combine the two. The social capital I build is useful/helpful in both halves of my life. There is bleedover into both and sometimes it makes for an interesting mix.

Some people struggle when they leave an organization. That's why it's important for corporate workers who tweet for companies to think about these things. @Karen, I know the feeling. I help clients with their social media activities, too. Really, it's best for me to be one person. Except I have two Twitter IDs, one for chat when I have too many tweets coming in a short time. @morosiaka, you're ahead of the game.

Iam still a PR student, but find it important to react. Having a personal and a professional account depends on how the owner plans in relationship with his/her readers on social media.Those readers may be family members, friends and business partners. To me, Facebook is much more social than twitters. .-= morosiaka's blog ...<a href="http://twitter.com/morosiaka/statuses/8084412496" rel="nofollow">morosiaka: @ks_ly_gn, happy holidays, on le merite bien !</a> =-.

I'm personally professional everywhere. I treat it all like the public place it is so I use my "outdoor manners" (which in all honesty are pretty much my indoor manners too) but I really am fully myself everywhere. If I had the energy I'd figure out a better ratio, but I don't. .-= Karen Swim's blog ...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordsForHire/~3/c6CFndL_ANI/" rel="nofollow">Unleash Your Passion for a Perfect Performance</a> =-.
