Facebook could be a great application for artists but since you are obligated to 'friend' many relative's and friend's requests who may not have an aptitude for art criticism, I would avoid it unless you have a separate account just for your business/artist friends. I personally avoid posting artwork other than using my self portrait for my profile pic. It's not because I can't handle the criticism it is more because they don't really know what to say and I am not really an exhibitionist anyway.

I must say I have personally reduced my use of this forum out of concern for the fact that anyone doing a general search of my name can read excerpts of our discussions. I am content with the thought that what I discuss can be a good teaching aid to others but concerned that to a potential client it may look inexperienced. I am wondering if anyone else out there has this concern as well.
