I was going to suggest these also. However, you can run into problems with 1) nebby peeps finding your nonwork account and asking you what's up with that (so you should probably make your nonwork account your dog's name or something if you're going to go this route) 2) people who are FB savvy enough realizing that you're keeping them out of vital parts of a FB profile like your pictures, wall, whatever, and getting offended by it.

You're encouraged, but encouraged =/= have to.
People at my old job were "encouraged" to put their home/personal cell number on their business cards, but that doesn't mean you have to. It's up to you how much of your personal life you want to give up to have "success" in the corporate world. I just think that nowadays a lot of people do it without thinking about it, and that really frightens me. It's not about people seeing a picture of you doing a body shot and not getting a job because of it, it's about not keeping a clear line of demarcation between life and work.
(I'm pretty sure we have had this discussion on here before.)
