Interesting post. I find the whole Facebook page thing a bit awkward for musicians too.

I try not to set up more than one profile on any one service in any case. I do have different email addresses for personal and for business use, and I do maintain different web sites/blogs for different purposes, but I’ve seen so many folks get so tied up with multiple accounts, and trying to remember what was set up for what, that it often seems too much like hard work to me, and more importantly, not a very productive use of hard work either!

Raul,

I thought about two Facebook profiles as well. However, the terms of use agreement says: “…you agree not to use the Service or the Site to…register for more than one User account….”

That was how I hoped to manage my first and second circles, especially since Facebook allows my “friends” to link me to photos through tagging. You never know when a friend or relative might decide to play a prank! And there are probably thousands of college grads who do not want their new employers to see the photos from spring break.

For me, Facebook is about keeping up with friends and acquaintances. This ranges from just knowing folks are moving through life (marriages, births, moves, etc.) (more of the circle 2 concept that Bonnie described – I like the analogy!), to coordinating social events with friends (“haven’t seen you in a while, want to meet up for Mexican?”), to closely tracking and participating in my best friends comings and goings (photo libraries, comments, etc.) (this would be my circle 1). I agree with a prior entry that it is an excellent way for me to keep up with friends and acquaintances I have developed, pretty much all over the world.

I have subscribed to groups (products/services I like, fan stuff, etc.) but, except for one (Reading Don Quijote, an online reading group) I actually never click on anything they send me and have them more to communicate to my friends what kinds of things I like (which I guess can still help those businesses). I am not sure I would pursue something in Facebook for my professional purposes. However, that does not mean I do not think others can get good value. I find Twitter better suited to my particular goals at work and LinkedIn for my professional networking/career “management”.

However, if I were to decide there was another objective I could achieve in Facebook (e.g., business, professional, etc.), I think I would create a new profile altogether as I wouldn’t want that mixed in with my personal.
