Comments on: The 4 Ps of the Internet: Personal, Private, Professional, and Public http://www.compliancebuilding.com/2009/04/13/the-4-ps-of-the-social-internet/ Doug Cornelius on compliance and business ethics for private equity real estate Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:01:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Estelle http://www.compliancebuilding.com/2009/04/13/the-4-ps-of-the-social-internet/comment-page-1/#comment-7118 Estelle Wed, 07 Jul 2010 11:32:57 +0000 http://www.compliancebuilding.com/?p=2295#comment-7118 Indeed I agree, personal versus professional is possible to manage. The issue for me is to find the limit to a professional blog: should this be shared with friends and family, as they might be in the same field than you? Or avoid it, it order to stay very professional? This is the kind of challenge that I have encountered, and my reading your post and others, I was looking for suggestion to this type of question. ;-) Indeed I agree, personal versus professional is possible to manage.

There are lots of other factors. The most important to consider is the audience for a publication. You may keep more of the personal stuff in Facebook, which is also less public than in a public blog focused on your professional experiences. Use different publishing tools for different information for different people. Your professional peers probably care less about your kids than your friends and family. And your friends and family probably care less about your professional work. I was trying to broaden the discussion from the one dimension: personal versus professional.

One thing that could be interesting is to give your advices to other bloggers. For example, how to manage this 4 P, how to put limit between each other? Interesting point of view.

What you're saying here makes a lot of sense to me, but I think with new social media technology you'll be able to get even more granular than that. The term "social graphs" comes to mind, where you literally have as many social graphs (or types of relationships) as you're able to manage. Facebook does this really well where all of you data is in one place (note, this doesn't include professional data, but could) and you create different groups with whom information is shared selectively. You can even segment at the individual level. So for example, you might have a photo album that is open to everyone except people in your Limited Profile group, your Work Colleagues group, and your cousin Bob who just don't like all that much. I think once this type of functionality spreads to other social media sites and enterprise platforms (already seeing some of this), the personal/professional distinction will be less black and white.

I agree with you and the other commenters that the lines between those quadrants are blurred in reality. Maybe you should try to replicate the drawing using a Venn diagram?

There is no clear distinction. I tried to get the colors to fade into each other, but my graphic skills are limited. The main point I was trying to get across was that it the analysis is not between two factors, it is between more. There is also a third dimension of what information appears in what location. For example, you may put more personal information in Facebook and less in LinkedIn. Again my graphic skills were too limited to pull that off. Lastly, the boxes are not an equal size for everyone. The wife puts everything into red and orange. Her picture is on her firm's website because they made her and she accidentally signed up for LinkedIn. Steve and Alin -

Just like Steve here, I am curious if there is a clear distinction between the 4 areas or some 'blurry' bits, especially where the personal overlaps the professional - like Scoble et al blogging about their personal experience and thoughts in Microsoft's Channel 9, or updating one's Facebook Status talking about work and getting replies from colleagues or referrals from your school there.

Now, if you can blur the colors between each quadrant into little 'grey areas', then you might have it perfected. :) Well done Doug! The four-quadrant approach makes a lot of sense.
