"My job is really jumping on the social-media bandwagon and strongly encourages employees to use sites like Twitter and Facebook to help broaden our company’s brand and build a presence online. I’m really uncomfortable with combining my personal online life with my professional one, but no one else seems to mind. Can I push back or should I just go with it?"

This is a common question I hear on the road a lot from clients and others - particularly those who are in PR. The Times' Jenna Wortham offers up sound advice.
