Here are the results of two polls that we posted on the Network’s website. We most recently asked our users about work-family and social media (4/10-5/19/09): If you participate in social media networks (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn), are you able to keep your personal/family and work lives separate?

Of the 53 respondents, 49% reported that “it’s difficult,” 25% said “it’s easy,” and 26% indicated that “it’s not easy or difficult.”

Another Network poll (3/12-4/10/09) inquired about how the current economic climate was affecting your spending habits: Due to the economic climate, have you changed your lifestyle (for example, spending less money, delaying major purchases, cutting non-critical expenses etc.)?

Forty-seven percent replied “quite a bit,” followed by “somewhat” (46%) and “not at all” (7%). We heard from a total of 57 people. Other entries on the economy may be found here and here.
