Make a work account for that company and keep it separate from your personal account. Never accept your coworkers on social media sites. How hard is this?

Because coworkers can become friends, and friends can become coworkers. The two are not wholly disjoint sets, nor should they be. What is needed is a separation of function, not a separation of people. Two accounts, perhaps with shared people, but with the intent of one being personal communication, and the intent of the other being professional.

Imagine if somebody built a social networking site where you could have one group of contacts, but sandbox them into their separate circles of function/relation. Such a website would surely eat all others for breakfast. ;-)

It's against Facebook and G+ policies and thus may result in your personal account being nuked, but sure.
