jlhSo I've been actively using Facebook and Twitter for some months now, and I've come to a conclusion: for me, the three social network sites I'm on are used in different ways, and that's okay.
My tweets are more often coming from my cell phone about some silly thing I've seen on the street, or some tiny observation about media I'm consuming. I tend to use Facebook status to talk about myself.
Some folks on Facebook are doing blog memes like "first lines of songs on shuffle from iTunes" and "25 things about me." I'd rather just play scrabble and take movie quizzes and become a fan of Aretha Franklin's hat.
I'm still not a fan of Loud Twitter. Loud Twitter digests are not Live Journal posts. They lack context, a thought being followed to its conclusion. Instead, they're a collection of separate moments, mushed together by a format. When I say, "Oh, I wish you posted more" what I mean is, "I like getting that insight into what you're thinking and why you're thinking it."
I have several people that I'm reading in all three places and to be honest, reading the same 140-character comment in three different places at three different times of day is a lot. So if you're only posting Loud Twitter feeds, I'm going to move you off my reading filter, because I'm already following you on Twitter. If you are going to be posting other things, please do let me know, and I'll be very excited to move you back!

Date: 2009-02-06 01:14 pm (UTC)I pretty much use LJ and FB the same way as you: FB is to keep connected with the friends I made in high school and college, find events and whatnot, and play scrabble and cheer over beating Dan in Tetris. LJ is where all my fandom things go and all the day-to-day activities and memes happen. I don't Twitter, mostly because I'm obsessive about my monthly text allotment and although I'm sure I wouldn't go over, I don't think I have the patience to be that plugged in all the time.
