Both very true.

Having a system was crucial for me. I don’t care too much for updating my facebook status, but since twitter does it automatically I set it up. Also, I like brightkite, but wouldn’t want to update that AND twitter each time. Luckily, brightkite updates twitter for me if I use it. And Yahoo Fire Eagle brokers my location info between any services I allow so I can control my privacy levels.

Without things updating one another it becomes a social networking nightmare/fuster-cluck

really it’s just annoying to manage so many things unless you have a system setup, which is why i am only managing my facebook for my personal updates. I am still using twitter but only for my work stuff since I only need to keep track of my daily activities. And really no one was updating for my twitter friends other than the great euicho and I could read his twitter posts on facebook, so thus I didn’t need it.

Well, to me the difference is that one can follow a given person’s tweets without the permission of that person. But you can’t examine somebody’s facebook wall unless they specifically let you.

Lol yes yes I should. I’ll start using it more when I travel away from Bangor.

Well I personally think that more people should use brightkite.com

Like a certain blogger, who shall remain nameless at this time.
