RE: Networking Groups - downside?

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

 I don't see this as off-topic, unless all discussions of interacting with colleagues and potential customers and employers are off-topic. 

In some businesses, it's de rigeur to be a member of one or another social networking system.

I would want to know what precautions people take when they do join social networking groups online.

Is there any way to keep your personal-social and your business-social presences separate?  Without lying on the sign-up forms?
