I remember when some of my more senor co-workers started sending me friend requests on Facebook. At first I was hesitant, but then I realized I don't really have anything too crazy on my profile, so I allow it. But this is an interesting issue that's going to continue to grow. Good point, Grace.

My company's been pushing social networking a lot, but I'm hesitant to add my CEO as a friend on Facebook. (I know I can change the privacy settings for individual, but it seems really strange to let my bosses anywhere near my college party photos or my uncensored wall.) But I'm totally into adding them on LinkedIn. I think it makes it a lot easier to disconnect your personal life from your work persona. I like to think of LinkedIn as MySpace with a reference check.
