Right at the moment I don't share my facebook page with business contacts. I suspect many others have the same issues that a facebook page is about your social life and you quite possibly don't want to mix that with your business life. I think there may be a cultural aspect to this as well. In the US I think there is less of a divide between private and business life, here in the UK I think we tend to have a firmer divide. Whether that's a good or bad thing who's to say but it does impact how we view applications like Facebook from a business standpoint. I'm going to be signing up for a Google+ account because I think this is a bold experiment from Google and I'm fascinated to see how it turns out.

I mean have some pride people, they think you are "like facebook"! That´s an offensive term these days. It equals stalker, privacy hater, crime supporter, freak and so on. Google may lose the so far sincere and respectable reputation it used to have, if it actually decides to create an internet network for weirdoes. For people who were unable to set up social networks in real life. And there is no excuse for being like that these days. You can join groups for people with special needs, youth groups, single parent groups etc. Google was like a safe virus-free online haven for people until now. How about stay the way you are? Proud, virus free, privacy respecting, sophisticated, self-respecting, modest and intelligent! Or in other words... The ultimate anti-facebook! This is my personal opinion. You don´t have to agree with me. No offence, but I think Google can do a lot better than that. I mean have some pride people, they think you are “like facebook”! That´s an offensive term these days.
