UPDATE:  April 10 - Found out yesterday from the same friend who wrote the original article that Facebook's "Use Policy" prohibits having two identities.

Psychiatrists, discuss.

I'll be breaking no news here in pointing out the ginormous increase of Facebook users in the past many months.  According to its own site, Facebook reports an increase of 25 million active users from just January to February 2009.

Using just my high school class as a sample, I've been amazed at the huge increase of classmates who have joined and become active Facebookers since I set up my own page just about one year ago.  I went to a pretty small high school, around 800 students in a typical year, and my graduating class was just under 200.  As of this morning, 90 of my classmates - all in the mid-30s age range - are Facebook users.  When I joined Facebook, that number was in the teens.

For many, keeping up with their Facebook accounts is a challenge in and of itself.  Now, a friend of mine - in both reality and on Facebook - writes an interesting article on people who are setting up TWO accounts... one for professional use and one for personal use.

The people interviewed make very good points, and as someone who has checked out the Facebook and Myspace pages of perspective employees, their advice could have been helpful to a few folks I've NOT hired.  Still, I have to wonder if some of the "magic" of Facebook might be lost if bipolarization of the site gains steam.
