An unnamed number of years ago when I ventured into my first social media outlet (the uber-trendy Xanga world that all the cool kids were into), it never would have dawned on me to include business associates and coworkers in my list of "friends." I was fairly certain that these professionals weren't all that likely to be interested in my ever-changing sparkly kitten-themed pages with 80's hair band music, nor I theirs. And heart-wrenching public updates about how a certain dysfunctional family member had inflicted pain yet again just wasn't all that enjoyable of a read when coming from the dorky junior staff accountant three cubicles over.
