Some are like you and express differrent parts of their personalities on different sites. Some parse things out by function: twitter for what’s going on now, pownce for short thoughts, personal blog for more developed ideas, and Jaiku for pimping the latest blog post/podcast/product/etc; all while maintaining the same personality. So, I think their are different ways to approach expressing yourself across the disparate online communities. I think the main reason for this is multiplicity of personalities instead of things like the character limit in twitter posts.

When I post on my blog, I usually post techie stuff, how-to articles or just ramblings or recaps of this and that. My blog is mostly mac-related but it also covers wide range of everything I can thing of. I have a rule that I never blog about politics. 2. Facebook is inspiring. When on there, I can see what my fellow-geek friends are doing,writing,watching etc. Apart from that it provides higher level of interaction because if I feel like chatting one on one with some of my friend(s), I can.I alsocan thow a round of drinks or express my feelings through poke and x-poke apps. In other words, Facebook offers more interaction because of it's apps and straightforward interface. 3. I use tumblr to distribute my RSS feeds from twitter,jaiku,last fm,flickr etc. People who don't follow me on all the networks, can simply go to my tumblr page and read / see all my feeds. 4. Twitter is a shout-box. I use it to post links to articles,blogs,software and other stuff that I find interesting. Unlike Pownce, twitter is mobile so you can text your twits from your phone. I don't use that option but it can come in handy. 5. Pownce is my personal favorite now. I see it like an online forum actually that has additional multimedia features. It's great for serious geeky conversations say about programming, asking for help or when you really need to write something that takes more then 140 characters and you want as many people possible to see your thoughts, questions or hear your music files. It would be great if pownce had syntax highlighting to make it easier for users to post sourse code. You haven't mentioned Yahoo Mash and Jaiku so I will say a few words about those services too. Mash looks nice and it's highly customizable. You can twaek CSS and edit your friends profile if they allow you to. It is very nice, but once you set it all up and you are happy how does it look like, you have nothing else to do on it. It lacks interaction between users. That is why IMHO mash is never goint to gain as much popularity as say facebook or myspace. Jaiku is hybrid between twitter and pownce. A bit confusing to get used to and I don't like it. Truth is that jaiku has some great features such as fetching RSS feedsand mobile support, but for me it's confusing to use. I was hoping when Google acquired Jaiku that they will improve it and re-design it but it hasn't yet happened. To conclude this, yes, I am a different person on each social networking site because because if you would be doing same stuff on like 6 places at once, it would be boring plus each service offers different features. This was way too long reply wasn't it? 1. When I post on my blog, I usually post techie stuff, how-to articles or just ramblings or recaps of this and that.

Of course, on my WP blog I post mostly long articles, on Tmblr I post shorter stuff(but also catches the WP and Pownce posts), on Pownce I more or less discuss and communicate with people and on Twitter I just keep it short. But, I am who I am on all different mediums. I really don't feel that I change or act differently. Interesting post, but I think it is an individual thing.
