Comments on: How I Re-Embraced Facebook (and How You Can, Too!) http://www.sufficientthrust.com/how-i-re-embraced-facebook-and-how-you-can-too/ With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

It's all about what information each group wants to read. My friends want to read quotations that are inside jokes from high school and want to know about events related to our social circle. My professional contacts don't care about my inside jokes and want to know if I'll be at PodCamp Seattle. Rather than clutter one profile with twice the information, I've found it most effective to maintain two separate profiles. However, if one profiles works well for you -- all the better! Jenna,

There is nothing I do in my personal life that I wouldn't want "potential" employers to find out about and nothing in my professional life that I wouldn't want "potential" and "past" friends to know about. In essence, I consider my professional life an extension of my personal life. Plus, it is easy to hide things from people who aren't on your friend list and also to limit what those people see if necessary, so yeah. I don’t find it hard to use one account for both purposes.
