Blogging My Life...I have been on Twitter for over two years, but I have been annoying my Facebook friends for only about 10 months. Towards the end of May 2008, I connected my Twitter updates to Facebook via an automated manner. Then, I had 430 friends, now I have 730 friends. Yea, I am popular. ;-)
Seriously, I am the worst Facebook user on the planet. I go to Facebook once a day to accept friend invites. In fact, I turn off all notifications and I simply go to facebook.com/reqs.php almost every day to accept all friend invites and ignore everything else. I don't upload pictures to Facebook, I don't chat with Facebook, I simply don't use Facebook like I am suppose to. Instead, I feed my Twitter replies to Facebook and my Facebook friends have no idea what is going on.
But starting right before Passover, I downloaded the new TweetDeck, which I love, and it has given me the option to specify what I want to send to Facebook from here or not. So I completely disconnected the Twitter to Facebook stream and will now manually post things to Facebook that I think are more relevant. It doesn't mean I will use Facebook right, it just means I will annoy my Facebook friends less.
Here is a look at the new TweetDeck with the "FB" or "Facebook" check box that will send specified Tweets as Facebook status updates.
I know many people will appreciate this.
Tweet This!

I was doing this for a while, as well. Except, I had the Twitter application in Facebook automatically update my Facebook from whatever I was putting in Twitter. I confused most of my friends who have NO clue what it is I do (my mom still calls it some kind of VooDoo web science), and was getting some very odd comments back on my FB status. Most of them included something along the lines of "Huh?"
