I getting deeply involved in social media or social networking and its integration with business blogging, so much that I have a great number of friends on places like Twitter and Facebook compared to what I had a couple of months ago. The other day I had a Twitter update from a Japanese friend in Japanese language, he’s Twits are often in English but this one was not, I immediately asked myself is this a problem or not to my followers.

My native language is Spanish and I have a large number of Spanish-speaking friends along with my English-speaking friends. I started wondering how much of an annoyance is for my Spanish-speaking friends to see posts in English and vice-versa. Is it time to split these two groups?

I’ve been blogging for a while now, and all this time I’ve been blogging in English, when my Spanish-speaking friends visit my blog they know what to expect, but when dealing with social media, with social networking tools like Facebook I’m not sure how to react to this line of thinking.

I got a couple of ideas but they are not easy to implement, one could create two profiles for sites like Facebook but there is not way to do that using one email account. Other site like Twitter and MySpace also does not allow more than one profile per email address.

You can create multiple profiles by using different email accounts but how efficient is this when what you are really trying to do is to have all your friends in one place. Maybe I’m just over-thinking this, I’m really worried about the net results of me trying to integrate social media into my business ventures.

I use the WordPress platform for my website and while there are some plug-ins that allows you to host multiple languages of your site, none of them easily can distinguish between Spanish-speaking or English-speaking people that visit your site.

I need to now what you think, I want to know how this affects my intentions of having a single space for both my personal social interaction and my business social networks. Please, stop by my forums and leave a note on this discussion, tell me about the way to feel when you see multi-language posts on your friend’s sites.
