As we found out earlier this week, a large majority of you are on Facebook and LinkedIn (or both) and a good chunk of you are Twitterers. A couple of you mentioned in the comments that you use LinkedIn for business and Facebook for friends and family, but I’m finding that while that’s mainly true, I’ve got plenty of people from both worlds in both networks. So whom should you be friending, linking (in) to, and following?
Over at Web Worker Daily, Aliza Sherman confronts just this quandry, and decides (if I’m reading between the lines correctly) that she’s more likely to follow people she doesn’t know but finds interesting on Twitter than friend them on Facebook. She also claims that 75% of her Facebook friends are from her professional life, which perhaps explains why she doesn’t mention LinkedIn.
Personally, I find the information you put out on LinkedIn bland enough that it doesn’t really matter how many connections you make. Overall, though, I’ve got a pretty liberal friending/following/linking policy, but part of that is that our new CBS overlords here at BNET don’t seem to care (yet?) that I’m mixing business with, well, other stuff.
