The young spending more and more time on social networks; enterprises hiring (or at least screening profiles) on Facebook and urged to implement web 2.0 tools to leverage on their employees' knowledge and clients' feedback... it looks like the border line between private and professional lives is fading.
Is it still relevant to split our personality into 2 clearly separated parts? Is there really a 'private me' and a 'professional me'? Should we be afraid of being tagged on the picture of an animated party, because a potential employer might see it and suddenly realize we can also have fun? (of course, employers never have fun themselves...) In fact there is no contradiction between working seriously & efficiently, and making crazy things from time to time. That's human. That's normal. So, why hide anyway?
Technology is rapidly changing our dual world, and soon we'll no longer hear about this artificial border between 'private' and 'professional'. There's only one 'me'. For the worst maybe, and surely for the best.
