Indeed. I hate it when I get identical updates on multiple platforms.

In that case, I don't think I'll be able to win at the social networking game. There are too few hours in the workday.

Seconded. I send out very different messages on facebook and twitter. Surprisingly I consider twitter to be more professional, as in future employers are more likely to read a few of my tweets by googling my name than reading the junk on my wall on facebook.

Getting the same updates in both places and seeing RTs as part of a facebook status update are kind of annoying.
