Title:

Blurry Networks: Friends, Contacts, Followers and Professional Me

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Charlie O'Donnell, Path 101
Description:
Facebook friends, LinkedIn contacts, Twitter followers… Friend everyone or keep a velvet rope? Can you develop authentic relationships at scale? Where does networking cross the line to self promotion? Two successful online networkers examine some best practices on how to approach the hyperconnected, but hopefully not overexposed, professional you.
Questions
Answered:
  1. Is there a line that should be drawn between personal and professional presence online?
  2. Should I try for maximum network size or quality of interaction?
  3. How can you have quality interactions with your online network?
  4. Should I have a presence on every network and service?
  5. How do I make my social media presence available to those that are not technology savvy?
  6. When does self promotion online become too much or cross a line?
  7. How do I seperate (or should I) between promoting myself or promoting my business?
  8. Should I produce different contanct or act differently on different networks?
  9. If I don't have a digital presence, where do I start?
  10. What are the downsides and caveats to living professionally out on the open?

This panel will also feature Alana Taylor (http://www.alanataylor.com/), who turned her digital participation into an internship with Mashable and a significant professional network--all while still at NYU. She'll have a unique perspective, given that her peer group mostly sees social networking as just something you do for fun with friends.

Sounds like a great issue - and one that will become more prevalent as the lines between work, friends and family all begin to blur with technology that continues to make it easier to share and stay in touch!

I saw Fred's mention of you, checked out your blog, read a few of your past posts and really liked what you had to say about the separation between personal and professional identities/networks. Thanks for blogging and being out there doing what you do.
