Facebook - yes, two accounts. One personal. very private, only real life friends and family. Second one, with my Kelownagurl name. I friend pretty well anyone who asks me on that one. I mostly post training type updates and don't really hang out there a lot but I enjoyed checking it once a day and seeing what people are up to.

Twitter - yes, I'm on it a ton. I follow and am followed by about 800 people. Some of them I have gotten to know really well, very much like my close buds on TE. I use it as IM type thing more than anything else. I post details of my life but mostly it's the @replies that make me hang out there. I chat with online friends, mostly in real time. However, I would not twitter the same way under my real name.

I have tried very hard not to link my real name with my Kelownagurl name. I'm not so worried that Internet friends finding out my real name, but I mostly don't want my students and their families to make the connection. If you google one, you don't find the other. At least last time I checked... lol...
