My rule on this? If you have your Twitter activity automatically posted to your LJ on a daily basis, and you have your LJ updates automatically Twittered for you, and you don't post for a few days yet the two services keep on notifying back and forth every day and even killing you won't stop the pointless spam? You're doing it wrong. Cross-promotion I understand, re-reading your intelligent commentary twice is no skin off my back, but an endless cycle of the two not saying anything new? Bad.

I just don't see the point of Twitter when FB status updates are the same thing. And it's just as easy to update each using mobile applications. I think the audience on each is the same, if not bigger on FB.

Currently, I import my LJ posts to FB and I've noticed they get more responses over there than here, I think in part because I have a larger audience over there and most of the LJ community has abandoned LJ land for FB. I've contemplated leaving LJ land in favor of re-doing my own website using wordpress, but I don't know if I'd be noticed at all, then. I'll find niches for each, I suppose.
