There. I’ve made the first pass at separating Professional social networking and personal social networking. I’ll do a little more of that over time, I think.
Unfortunately, to do that requires the socially awkward and mildly offensive act of “unfriending” people on Facebook and rebuilding that network on LinkedIn. I made a huge point tonight of sending new LinkedIn invites to anyone I “unfriended” in Facebook tonight, and I trust that these really cool people from my professional life are equally as busy and will understand the shift.
Of course, I make a fun rant at the game posts, etc., but the real driver here is that I really have trouble sorting through the longer style FB posts to see my family things. I prefer Twitter for its forced brevity — evidence notwithstanding.
And now that I’m shifting more professional network to LinkedIn, I need to expand my active participation in that network, too, lest I be guilty of not shifting that network but abandoning it. I am more active on Twitter than any other social network, and that remains my preference by far.
So, if you’re from my professional life — come see me on Twitter (@MaxWalkerPMP) or LinkedIn (/in/MaxWalker)!
If you’re from my personal network, you probably still ought to follow me on Twitter (@MaxWalker), ’cause child, I still hate this Facebook thing and you won’t see a lot of me here. You’ll see more on Twitter.
Ciao!
