Context is everything and sites like facebook bring those contexts together and create a weird tension.

And that's the part that concerns me as well.
If I were to join Facebook it would be unrelated to TFP.
Think of this, there are many stories of people who's naked pictures got out and that's from here that is supposed to have been a private forum. Now, you have admissions of thoughts, those thoughts could be different than what potential employers want out of a potential employee.
It has happened already and will only get worse as HR people and HR services dig up people online.
And I don't get the point of enjoining other forums out there from MySpace to Facebook. If you want everyone in your circle to be here, then invite them already. So far of the 4 people that I've invited only 2 remain.
enjoy and have fun there.
