Basically, I decided to focus this week on my plans for the future, and didn’t want to be distracted by posting articles and comments to various websites.

I’ve made some progress this week and by the middle of April I expect to have things finalised.

Thanks for visiting.

I currently have accounts with both. Also with identica, Tumblr and Type Pad.

Twitter is the one I use most. The Twitter updates also feed through automatically to my wall on Facebook.

Let’s take a look at the differences between Twitter and Facebook, bearing in mind this is my private view and each person will be different.

I find that Twitter is more professional than personal. More than half of my contacts are people who work in the media and public relations.

For that reason, I’m fairly self conscious about my updates, knowing they will be read by my peers and potentially a public audience, rather than close friends.

I tend to focus on writing tweets related to my work or current news, injecting humor when appropriate.

These posts also go through to my Facebook wall, where my readership is entirely different.

Most of my Facebook friends are relatives and friends, many from places far away where I used to work.

They’re more likely to comment on my updates than Twitter followers and I make an effort to read theirs.

Dare I say it, Facebook is more popular with young people. Two of my children have Facebook accounts and most of my staff are on there too, but none of them show any interest in Twitter.

When it comes to following people and being followed, I’m happy to link up with anyone on Twitter I find interesting. With Facebook, I just allow people I know.

Because I’m careful about what I publish on Twitter, I sometimes make more casual posts on other sites, either my own blog or a new Type Pad microblog.

I’ve stopped using Tumblr, I just found it not very social and it delivered poor search results on Google.

So in effect, I’ve created boundaries around which web services I use for what purpose. The boundaries aren’t solid walls and can be moved, but in general terms they provide a consistent point of reference.

I also uses a “lifestream” aggregator on my personal blog for a while to bring together most of my content, a sort of personal Friend Feed.

If you have both Twitter and Facebook accounts, how do you differentiate between them?

A website called ipadio offers a phone blogging service and this is my first effort. Although I’ve installed the software on my Android phone, this recording was made on a landline.

Reading more on the ipadio website, I can really see the potential for this service.

The “live” coverage of the Mount Gambier tennis final I gave on Coveritlive would have been better suited to streaming audio.
