If you want to use your facebook account to illustrate your fun or social side, great! Just be careful. For those worried their potential/current employers may not share the same definition of "harmless weekend fun", be sure to change your profile settings to private. @Ola Rynge: You bring up a great point. Social networking is merely an extension of traditional networking techniques, not a replacement. The best networkers concentrate on building meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships, on or off-line @Nikhil: Ideally, all the various networking sites will work together to represent the WHOLE you: Your personal brand.

To your great post, I would like to add 4. Meet up in real life Call your friends, set up meeting and take your on-line network off-line. Try first to help your peers by connecting people in your network over a lunch or coffee, introduce them to each other and seek win-win situations. This way you will not only be appreciated by your network but soon you will be recognized as a person everyone want to connect to and you will see more and more influential persons connect with you.

I use LinkedIn for professional usage while Facebook to catch up with friends! I guess building a brand also works the same way. If you want to build a professional brand, built it on LinkedIn. There you can be smart and suave and professional. Whereas, Facebook can be your place to freak out. And there's nothing wrong if you employer finds out what you do on weekends (as long as its nothing illegal!) :) By the way, if anyone is looking to make the most of their LinkedIn account, check out networking expert Jan Vermeiren's new book "How to REALLY use LinkedIn".
