So I am guessing many of you other bloggers out there also have facebook pages. Do you post the same info to both? How do you decide what goes where? I'd love to hear some ideas on what everyone else does.

Blog or Facebook
So I recently joined facebook (http://www.facebook.com/shawn.goertzen). However I am trying to figure out how this fits into my online presence. When I started the blog, I did it as a way of sharing parts of my life with the outside world. Now that I am on facebook, it seems like I have two ways of doing the exact same thing.

oh hi! :) as you probably noticed, my public livejournal posts get imported to my facebook. actually, my twitter, flickr, lj, and facebook are all interconnected now. i dont see it as repetition as much as it is sharing stuff with different audiences - there are some people that don't do livejournal, and there are some people that just refuse to do facebook.
ReplyDeletei have noticed that i have a tendency to post smaller stuff - links, silly videos, stuff that wouldn't make a good lj post, etc - to facebook, and any substantial posts about my life/what i'm doing to lj. i just like the fact that i can post something in one place and it bleeds out into the web to reach more people.
if you decide to do anything with it, you might want to check out cellspin: http://www.cellspin.net/
and what the crap with blogger not being able to verify my lj OR my open id. sheesh.
I post little tiny updates on Facebook, but save the big essays for the blog. I don't know how that would work for you, since you only do short updates here. I agree that there's nothing wrong with doubleposting, if you want, because some people prefer blogs and some prefer FB.
ReplyDeleteFB is open to LOTS of people, whereas my blog has a more limited viewing audience. I like the blog for sharing things with close friends and family and general interest stuff. FB is more for me getting in touch with people I haven't seen for years or posting "in the moment" thoughts. (Probably more of a twitter impulse but I'm not on the twitter) Lots of people have them all linked up but you may find this cumbersome eventually. not everybody you FB or twitter needs to know all your business.
