Blending our personal and professional lives

An interesting article by Michael Casey & Michael Stephens (Library Journal, 9/15/2008) about personalization and privacy: The social side of the Internet has merged our personal and professional lives and taken away a wall in which many took comfort.

I find it interesting that there seems to be two diametrically opposed schools of thought: some people are prepared to share all sorts of private information and others are concerned about privacy and the possibility of identity theft. Or perhaps some people subscribe to both theories at the same time! As the "Michaels" mention, it gets even more complex when you throw employer / employee issues into the mix.
