...or religion or money?
I am "facebook friends" with lots of colleagues, past and future. Someone I used to work with has some pretty extreme political views, and posts about them frequently, with or without links to inflammatory articles and blogs. Other people are very comfortable talking about faith. Still others post pictures of their e-rings, purchases, etc.
The religion thing, I can maybe understand only because I grew up in smalltown Iowa and I am sure a fair few of my Facebook friends are confident all their Facebook friends profess to be protestant Christians.
The politics thing grates on me; I don't think it's appropriate to discuss politics with colleagues, or to inundate them with political messages. But then, I know political movements rely on Facebook to gain traction these days, so maybe disseminating ideas over Facebook is becoming a crucial part of our political process.
