Jack SantosI have the Outlook Social Connector on my work Outlook email, and it has had some interesting side effects. 
For the Facebook neophyte, that hasn’t paid attention to privacy settings, I now see work colleague’s Facebook posts. Do I really need to see you dressed in a chicken outfit for your nephews birthday party? Or know about the latest Washington post article you read on hooker arrests?
I really believe that, like horse whips on horseless carriages, it’s just a maturation process. But in the meantime, it’s interesting to see what happens. The increased overlap of personal and work personas is something I think we’ll be dealing with for a long time to come. Can’t wait to see if this translates into a hostile work environment lawsuit somewhere along the road… or the other sociological implications this may have. Like are we entering a new Victorian era?
I’ll be speaking about these and more trends, and how they affect IT and IT work, at our Catalyst Conference in San Diego in August…
