Wow. I gotta come to one of your SMC Philly meetings sometime! Then again, we're in the midst of forming a SMC Detroit and I can only imagine how weird our meetings might be. Seriously, though... the GenX v. GenY debate is very interesting to me, and honestly I can't really make observations either way because I really never took notice. Like Teresa, I'm in generation limbo -- I'm too young to be GenX and too old to be GenY, so I say I'm a member of GenX.5, which is those of us that are somewhere between 27 and 32. (I totally made that up.) Personally I'd be interested to hear/see observations from X.5, somewhere in the middle of the two. I'm a super early adopter so I can't really make accurate claims or observations. .-= Stacy Lukas´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thatdamnredhead/~3/luEtDb44hCI/" rel="nofollow">Just when I think it’s safe to play #FollowFriday again.</a> =-.

Did you see me in the video?! LOL! ;-) A very valid point though, they didn’t participate so how could we assume...let’s just say it was their facial expressions in some cases. Maybe we’ll have to have a Gen Y/Gen X roundtable discussion for SMC Philly so we can get this out in the open. @TeresaBasich, I think you hit the nail on the head...Gen Y’s haven’t been burnt by their actions just yet. Heck, some of us weren’t burnt just by corporate politics let alone saying anything online without a filter...that’s why we are cautious. I hope you are right that eventually we’ll all find a middle ground. @StuartFoster, you don’t have a personal brand. If you did it would be “young pup who curses a lot.” What you have is a personal reputation and your comments, posts and insights are what draw all of us to you, make us want to spend time with you and make us want to see where you’ll be a year from now...isn’t that better than a brand? ;-) @DaveFolkens, I remember those days of wearing SUITS everyday – including Friday! Yikes! And casual Friday didn’t exist...glad those days are over. You bring up some really great points that I think play off of what Teresa was saying. The Gen Y’s are used to be open, don’t understand just how sensitive business can really be and they haven’t been burnt yet. That’s why I think ‘transparency’ isn’t the right word...but ‘translucency’ might just address the balance we are all striving to achieve. @SkipShuda, we’ll see you at SMC Philly one of these times! ;-)

But I am also, looking for a job, does this make a difference? I am almost positive it plays a small role? I have gotten into discussions with Gen Yers about things like the geographical social networks. I just don't see a need for someone to know where I am 24/7. Is this age related or gender related?
