Facebook - Worlds Collide Theory

Seinfeld Season 7 Episode 8 - The Pool Guy shows how George's world shatters with his date hanging out with his friends. Its a collision of the 2 worlds - George's relationship world with Susan and his independent world with Jerry, Kramer and Elaine.

"This world here, this is George's sanctuary. If Susan comes into contact with this world, his worlds collide!"
- Kramer, in "The Pool Guy"



Something similar is happening to me on facebook now. Somehow all the daylifers are now my friends on facebook and I am changing my social settings now. Starting from my personal "Interested In", "Looking For" statuses and pictures, co-workers at Daylife started chatting about my personal life on the work skype chat. I saw my 2 worlds colliding - the personal world and the work world. Goddamn facebook opening up for everyone. And stupid me adding co-workers to my facebook profile. Linkedin is the right place for my work-world.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to avoid posting any work-related info to your facebook profile. As for your co-workers, you should have told them you use Myspace.

Speaking of work/life, where is the Flurry widget on your blog?
