DISQUS

Josh M Hey Jeff, I totally understand man. I had to do a lot of thinking about this. With SolidSmack, as well as various social sites like Facebook, everything about me had the potential of becoming very transparent. I decided, because of what I wanted to do with SolidSmack, that it was in hte best interest - that while this would really affect my opportunities in profession, it would also provide a personal side to what's typically a pretty static 'professional' CV.

Some don't like having all that personal info out there and that is cool. For me, knowing, I mean really knowing the poeple I work with or will work with makes the work, the environment and the relationships much richer. Which, by the way, I think a lot of companies are looking for - the people magnet they can add to their software/industry.

By the way, you guys are doing it already on the 3DVision blog. a face in the post. That's huge in a customer driven biz like yours. I see a business doing that kind of stuff and it's the first place I'm going to. Find ways to do it more and I'm positive business will grow even more!

MatthewWest Facebook has mechanisms that let you choose who can see which photos. My wife uses it to control who has access to the photos of our kids. It's a sad state of affairs, but I've heard too many examples of companies and individuals taking pics of people's kids and doing improper things with them.

As for Facebook having a professional side, that's why LinkedIn exists. But I see where you're going with that.

Josh M uhhhm... I'll have to say, it came from the third sip of coffee I had immediately after remembering a conversation a friend and I had about oranges and taking care of the elderly. yes, that is true. he made fun of me... for taking car of an old man. I don't recall if the oranges were mentioned before or after that.
