Separation does not really seem possible.

Individuals choosing to keep the two separate… should consider closing and deleting all their social networking accounts. If that is not an option… Unification of goals and direction in life will allow business and personal to become one.

People buy and deal with people they like, in order for that to be a success you need to show your personality. Two different persona's will only be more difficult and frustrating to maintain.

The ability to truly keep separate biz/personal personas is fading away, and why would you bother? People hire people, not logos. And fundamentally, your real life is far more interesting than your business life. The fact that you're in public relations? Boring. The fact that you're in public relations, and grow award-winning roses? Interesting. And more importantly, memorable. Show the real you, but just don't be banal. These results are disheartening.

I concur. I STRONGLY believe the business owner should step out in front of their business online and be personal. By doing so, they will immediately differentiate themselves from their competition that either don't have a web presence or hide behind a logo. Do something most of your competition is NOT doing and be professionally personal on every social media site. Bret Excellent advice, Paul. I concur.
