I've done a bit of research regarding social media for work, mostly in reference to how to work it for our now-defunct conference. A lot of what I have found works for personal use as well as its original business intent. There was another article for which I went searching, but didn't find, that spelled out in even clearer terms the why nots of linking social media accounts. However, that one about sharing the Tweet about mimosas for breakfast on LinkedIn was pretty good too. ;-)
I know it's hard to keep up with all the different venues - both posting and reading. Some folks have one medium to which they are always connected and then have dedicated schedules of checking in to the others. OK, most of the folks are either glued to Twitter or Facebook, ok fine, Twitter. I'm more of a Facebook person, mostly because Twitter can be so overwhelming, but I try to remember to log in at least once a week, same with LinkedIn, Tumblr, Google+, etc. YouTube, I only check out when I get a link to something and then I rarely remember to log in.
There is a lot going on out there - it's easy to get swamped - but there's nothing saying you have to post to all the sites all the time ;-)

I think it is a rare exception to my Flist that friends of LJ aren't already on FB, but the fact remains I prefer LJ to FB if only for the simple reason that I don't have to put up with Apps and Games requests, or authorise some Effingham of an App to post or share something on LJ.
Cut and paste... wooo done none of this 'sign away your life and the rights of every democracy in the whole world, past present and future'... now we know what really happened to the ancient Democracy of Athens, sold for the ease of posting lolcats on FB.
Serioulsy though, I've still kept the right to share what I post here on FB and Twitter, simply because when I do make the effort (and I hope to do that more frequently) anything I share here I want shared on the other two. As for +google and Linkin, well I respond to anything posted there but otherwise, I'll only post there if there's an option to share it. I rarely go by to 'see' what is going on, simply because when I have the time I should be doing something else like writing anyways and when I don't I don't. lol
Regardless, thank you for pointing out what a mess I was making... ewwwww that was just not right.

However, for Twitter, some cross-posting is ok, but you really have to see Twitter as an enormous party where you may know a handful of people, but anyone walking by can hear and join in on your conversation. Twitter is similar to a chat room in that regards; where it differs is that in a chat room, people are usually drawn by a common thread of conversation, whereas in the Twitterverse, any one can literally stumble on your post. And no one wants to be or hear that guy who always references things you have to go somewhere else to understand what he's talking about.

So... while I appreciate that you and my friends who are following me are going "UGH! Dude, stop that." Since I get so few actual imputs from people I forget who actually sees me. Then again I probably need to go and update a lot at Twitter.
