If you've been following my series on model privacy you're familiar with the case I made earlier about establishing a separate identity online for your modeling/professional career - namely in the social networking space.
If you've paid at least the slightest attention to social media news (or if you're just a geek like I am and watched the f8 conference yesterday online). You'll know that Facebook is changing the way people will be interacting and sharing information in a massive way - and pretty soon.
Facebook introduced "Timeline" yesterday - a replacement for the Facebook "wall". Timeline is a new technology designed to basically catalog your life on Facebook. Before you shrug your shoulders on this understand that Timeline will not just catalog your Facebook activity, but will have the ability to catalog your activity on any website that has a facebook integration (how many sites now let you login with your facebook credentials, or have like buttons on them etc).
The key issue here is privacy. Granted I think in the world of the social space I think what FB is doing a neat idea and they're definitely working toward staying relevant to the future generations of users as they grow up with social media. But, all that aside, there's about to be a whole lot more about your life pushed to your facebook feed. This makes the case for a separate social media identity all the more relevant for models wishing to protect themselves (and their personal lives).
More explained here.
