Today I am trying to decide where the line is between one's personal and professional web presence. With so many of these tools tying together between accounts, what is the best way to separate the two? Should I keep a separate accounts for Picaso, Flickr, uTube, Blogger, and many more? Or do they all intermingle? What are best practices here? How does one balance this web presence between family/friends and professionally related publishing?
Advice anyone?
If I don't get advice, then I'll have to start posting silly pictures like this slideshow i put together for my husband on my week away in solitude. Maybe getting a bit photobooth slaphappy.

I keep going back and forth. At first I thought that it should be separate since the topics you would blog with personal and professional would be very different. But then I started thinking about how the more opinions, ideas, thoughts that you get from a variety of people with different backgrounds could be beneficial.
Hi Annelise, Thanks for sharing your blog. I see someone has been having fun with photobooth :) I hope you are enjoying your trip and I'll see you next week!
Here are my thoughts -- think about your "readers" -- who are they? What do they want to know? I have ONE account, but multiple "blogs" based on audience (go to my blogger profile to see how) -- so I think you should segment your life by audience. Maybe this is not done on an ID basis, but rather an RSS basis. This means - -keep this on edtech and then create a personal blog (maybe password protected) for your family -- like I do. Look at the audience and think of it from their perspective.
Few of us are interesting enough in every aspect of our lives to warrant being under the microscope at that level.
You can have one flickr account and multiple tags or groups. There are many ways to do it!
