I think it's a mistake to give everything over to the work side of your life. I think it causes stress, it's confusing and it throws away the benefits of some social networking sites. Instead of merging all my online-ness, I've just drawn a line. Non-work stuff like Facebook is private. You could also do this with Twitter, making your Twitter stream private, Del.cio.us and many other services. Matt,
