Social Media Etiquette

[jamincan]

I get pretty annoyed if I am contacted through my personal social media or email (none of which mentions my work) about work-related stuff. I try to keep a pretty firm wall between those two parts of my life, but there are the occasional holes. I'm not saying it's against the rules, or immoral or anything, but I would consider it impolite and intrusive and be pretty irritated if I was in this persons shoes. As for engaging with him as a community member; I'd be pretty skeptical about your motivation in their shoes unless they've already engaged in these subjects on twitter or invited that sort of discussion.
