Well, people don't always want to mix personal and business lives. I can see where a person might not wish to just plunge in and mix it all together. Sometimes there are personal things happening that you just want to hold back on.
I agree. These tips are given on the idea that someone will know the limits of when to share and when not to share on their networks.
