Nowadays, Facebook is becoming more transparent and has evolved into a tool for work and personal life alike. Therefore, it is important to separate your “real” friends from your “work” friends. You don’t want your boss checking out you’re playing Mafia Wars or Pet Society during work or see your photo with your girlfriend. Creating two separate accounts for “Work” and “Personal” is a big no-no as it violates Facebook T&C to have more than one account.
Here is a quick workaround to separate “Work” and “Friends” and still having the same account!
Step 1
Create a Separate Work list
On Facebook homepage, click on “more” on the left navigation menu.
Click on “Create New List” and a pop up window will appear.
Name the list “Work”, “Colleagues”, “Professional”, whichever you like (in this tutorial, we’ll use “Work”).
Click on the thumbnails of your “Work” friends to add them into the list.
And finally, click on “Create List” and you’re done with Step 1.
Step 2
Privacy Settings
Mouseover Settings tab on the top navigation menu and click on “Privacy Settings“.
Click on the drop-down list for “Basic Info” and select “Customize…”.
Enter “Work” in the field for “Except These People” and click “Okay”.
Apply these steps for the others.
Maybe you want to leave the “Education Info” and “Work Info” as it is since there is no harm for colleagues and potential employers to look at these.
Don’t forget to apply these for “Photo Album Privacy Settings” so your colleagues or boss won’t see your personal photos. And you may want to apply these in the “Application Settings” too and prevent your boss to see that you’ve been “Superpoking” every hour during work!

If you plan to start a blog, one of the most important steps is choosing the right platform. The first thing is to choose between a free, hosted blog or standalone blog.
Free, Hosted Blog or Standalone Blog
Free, hosted blog is the easiest and quickest way to get started. Generally, it is free and you do not have to download any software. The three most popular free, hosted blog platforms are Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad. While Wordpress.org and Moveable Type are the preferred standalone blogging platform.
Although many beginners started off using free, hosted blog for blogging — when blogging becomes more than just a hobby, they are most likely to switch from free, hosted blog to standalone blog with their own domain name and hosting service. This may not always be necessary as Seth Godin has successful blogged using Typepad as his preferred platform.
Pros & Cons
Generally, the pro of having your own standalone blog is that it is flexible to customize any ways you like. The downside is, of course, you have to pay for your domain name and hosting service every year. Some companies do offer unlimited domain hosting at only $9.95/month, so you may want to grab this great offer before it disappears.

Personal blog
Personal blog is usually a blog written by an individual or a group of individuals with common interests. Usually a personal blog focuses around a niche, although some blogs may focus on a variety of topics. Individuals generally blog about his/her own life, including one or more of the followings: – the food I have eaten, the places I have traveled to, the daily rants, the movies I have watched, etc. These days, potential employers will usually screen an individual through the Internet, therefore, ranting too much or revealing too much personal information on your personal blog is not a very good idea.
Corporate blog
Blogs are not new to the corporate world. With more than 5% of the Fortune 500 companies blog externally, you can only wonder, does your company have a blog too?
Corporate blog is divided between internal blog (can only be viewed by employees) and external blog (can be viewed by the public).
Internal corporate blog can be useful for internal discussions and sharing of ideas. These days, it functions almost like an Intranet but with the mobility of an Extranet.
External corporate blog is meant for the public eye, therefore, usually involves discussion of general topic, i.e. new product and services launch, company news, press releases and more. Some says the main existence of corporate blog is for branding purpose.
The Official Google Blog is one of the most popular corporate blogs, ranks in Technorati top 50 listing among all blogs worldwide.
According to Webster’s New Millennium™ Dictionary of English, a blog is an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog or Web log.
Meanwhile, Wikipedia stated, “A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.”
