Myspace is dead, but facebook is still good. I use facebook to get to know ai people more. By linking with them, I get to meet new ai students as well. Just recently, a guy added me as a friend. He is new to mn and wanted to get to know the community here. I just thought that was great, facebook is more than just a "social" social media. It can be used on a more professional level.
I honestly wouldnt use facebook to promote myself. I have my own domain and thus would never subject them to see me being crazy with friends. But I do think it is a good social medium to get to know other people who are in my field on a more social level.
Like I said already, the people you meet on facebook will know other people who may work in your career, I'll use it to my advantage.
I share most things on facebook, things I'm comfortable showing to the public. I still want to reserve personal things to myself however.
The difference between professional networking and social net working, is the fact that you have to hide some parts of who you are that you would not show in a work environment.
