Do you have a boss/manager that has myspace/facebook?

My previous manager that I worked for was real sweet/kind... I don't know, a lot of people kinda looked up to her. Well, one day I discovered her on myspace. I was shocked. She was totally opposite to how I knew her at work. And I kinda looked at her differently. I didn't look down at her or anything and whatever she does outside of work is her business. I guess it's different if you knew a person personally and hung out with that person outside of the work place and you know how that person is. Like I have friends that were coworkers and I hang out with them outside of work, so I know how they are. But my manager, it's all work related. I don't know. I personally just think that if you have a position where people work under you, you need to be more careful about how you perceive yourself outside of work. You never know who is looking. It could damage your career. But anyway, has anyone else experience this type of situation?

My partner is a boss, has a myspace page, but it is private. Since I am someone who looks up everything, everyone and anything, we thought it was a good idea to do so. With everything in the media about how something was found out about someone, if you have a perception you need to keep up, privacy is a must.
