Facebook is all about finding the balance between your personal and professional life. Dave Taylor discusses this importance of balance on Facebook in this eMarketingVids Video
Paying attention to the balance of Personal and Professional information you are sharing on Facebook can make the world of difference in how engaging you can appear to be. Nobody wants the same old messages all of the time, right? I agree with Dave and I like to mix it up by sharing a little bit of my Personal with my Professional feeds. Whether I am on Twitter or Facebook as well as on other Social Networks which are mostly programmed to cross post, I think its ok to mix it up a bit. I think it makes things more interesting to get to know a little more about the people we connect with on these networks. We’re not all industrial robots right?
I know not everyone wants to know exactly what I am eating fro breakfast lunch or dinner. Or do you? But an occasional check-in via Foursquare at the Coffee shop or local Pizza shop can show you that yes I am human and that I do like the things that other people indulge in from time to time. Besides, checking in can score you a great deal! What I am getting at here is that its not always business.
Dave suggests that we can engage and make it a bit more interesting if we share a little more about ourselves, within reason. By all means, be safe about it.
What do you think? Do you think a balance between Personal and Professional information is ok?
