I have an internal debate regarding compartmentalization. On one hand, I like the idea of crafting a universal presence - my main twitter username is my gmail username is my linkedin username, etc. On the other hand, there are certainly parts of myself that are not appropriate for public consumption, so I have a secondary twitter username as well as other accounts on other sites.

I don't see Facebook Messages causing much of a problem with that. Assuming Facebook is something we use in regards to our public persona, as opposed to our private persona, I don't have much of a problem linking Facebook to my e-mail, SMS, and chat.* It's the non-public activities that are the exception for me, not the rule. I do wish there was a way for me to "like" the local burlesque studio or sex toy shop without having to worry about family or co-workers seeing it, but I don't see that being a problem with Facebook Messages based on my understanding of how it will work.


*Of course, this is already done for the most part with my Android phone, where I get my e-mails, chat, and SMS all in one place.
