I have a system in place where my tweets are echoed as Facebook wall 
posts. What is a bit surprising to me is that i get a fair amount of 
comments to Facebook on these used-to-be-tweets, a lot more than i get 
responses as tweets.  While an analysis of the reasons is way beyond the scope of article, 
two things emerge. The phenomenon itself, and the redundance of data. 
I think it's great that my words of wyrd echo out to where me mates 
are, but the fact that the possibly ensuing discussion forks into two 
unconnected branches sucks. In fact, there is even little evidence 
that an update on Facebook originates from somewhere else. You may be 
reading this very posting through Twitter or Facebook but it 
originates from Posterous.  What i'm missing is the facility to recombine the responses into one 
comment stream. I don't really care where this happens, as long as 
there only is one stream.  Tear down the garden walls. Interoperability is playing nice.
