Ok, so i'm at work today and I'm emailing back and forth with one of my clients about their order. He asks me what my last name is (which is already in my signiture on every email I send) Next thing I know, i come home to find he added me as a friend on facebook. Is that weird? I'm not sure whether or not to accept it...

It's just facebook. He may be able to bring you more clients. Shake that money maker.....

Hell no! Absolutely not!
May as well add everyone here to that you know nothing about. Friends are friends. Businesses clients are just clients and ain't entitled to access your private life. Ignore the request. |

Maybe he just thinks your cute, and this is his way to approach. Maybe he needs more friends on facebook. I would be careful. With the news showing people being stalked and killed by other people thanks to facebook.

Exactly! Depending on your Facebook habits - might not be a good mix! |

People need to be careful with FB and check their privacy settings often. As Facebook adds features they usually set the new feature default to the least private setting as default. And if you have your account accessible to search engines anyone can google your name and find your FB account. That goes for most online accounts all anyone needs is your username.
While most business correspondences require your full name, a confidentiality disclaimer added to the bottom of your e-mails as part of your signature should keep business relationships from crossing the line into your personal life. Most or us have made friends in our business dealings, any request to cross into the personal part of our life should first be made in the business part of our life. He should have asked you on the phone, or via e-mail at work if it was ok before sending a request to your FB account. And I have to say it again, Check your Privacy Settings Often!!! |

The only write up I have had at work was due to a facebook post, (off the clock)....but, maybe you can make it work. I just don't see how it could benefit you.

Not sure if the "write up" at work affects your position in any way, but if it was made in private while you were off the clock, I don't believe that they can legally hold it against you in any way! You can find out for sure by contacting your local Labor Dept. I have friends at work on my FB list and some that are not. For this reason I have set my privacy so only my "Friends" can see my posts, and not "Friends of Friends". You have to remember the six degrees of separation rule. You have no idea who the Friends of Friends may be! |

I just learned in class that over 70% of business now check FB accounts of employees and job applicants. 90% of job applicants do not get the job because of FB accounts. Do not friend him.

Paul, with the new "ticker" thing on the side of Facebook even friends of friends can see what you write, if the mutual friend has commented. i.e. if I am friend's with you and Krupa but you and Krupa aren't, you can read the post after I comment on it no matter what the privacy setting is... |

Hummm well for me it is a bit different due to where I work. Now any of the ones that work with me sure I would put them on my friends list on FB. But.....if it was sales men or others that I deal with through work outside of the company then no.
Where I work there is under 25 people there so we are more like family.....actually some of us are...
