Here's how I think it works.

Twitter is 140 characters or less. That's a perfect fit for Facebook status updates, and a similar medium in terms of them being quick notes that you invite a quick reply to.

LJ entries are more expansive, you want people to read and reflect. Same thing for FB notes.

So those two feeding back and forth, awesome. But a Twitter update saying "HEY anyone wanna get lunch" isn't so awesome the next morning at 4 AM.

Good point RE: audiences and segmenting them off. Though I'd argue that's exactly the point of locking down entries on LJ, as those on FB you might not want reading things on LJ might google you up anyway eventually.
