The sentiment is dead-on though. I hear a lot of talk about policies and the need to differentiate the personal from the professional accounts these days. Especially for large corporations or businesses that have employees pulling double duty on Facebook et al. I like Chris' suggestion that we be real. Be who you are and work that angle, the truth. But I wonder, if the plasticity of the network news people - which I hate - was gone, and in it's place was a burbing scratching opinionated dogma I could see problem with that too. I think some of the "media" evolution debate goes back to <i> Bowling Alone </i> (and they didn't wear hats btw) where the fragmentation of media is hypothesized. Maybe more ideologically bent news sources will spring up. Infotainment like the Daily Show? Bowlers don’t wear hats? The sentiment is dead-on though.
