  • I am looking forward to your posting regarding the difference between a page and a profile. I know what it is and what they are, what I don’t know is how and if I can safely keep my profile page private among just my friends and still have a business page that is not tied to my personal profile. The same goes for Twitter. I have a personal Twitter account, but would not want it tied in any way to my professional life.

    I have subscribed…this is a good blog, Julie. Thanks for doing this.

    • Thanks Donna for your comment. Your concern about Facebook profile is a common one. I’ll be posting info about that soon. Thanks for subscribing.
