I certainly agree with you that it’s up to you to decide how open (or not) to be on the web about certain areas of your life. After being “friends” with a boss from an internship, I quickly learned that I wanted to reserve Facebook for friends and family only, and use other sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, etc. for developing my identity online that has more to do with my work (I started as a Community Manager at an international brand monitoring company a few months ago).

I can see what Ashutosh means, though, that not everyone wishes to be as visible as you are online. I was just recently discussing this very subject with a friend who also prefers not to put her name out there in the blogosphere for all to see. I think it really depends on what you are searching to get in return by putting yourself out there on the net. Like you said, though, no matter how you choose to use the net to interact with co-workers, friends, or total strangers, it is important to be conscious of the fact that everything you write is available for all to see.
