I'm not on Twitter, just Jaiku. How are the two audiences different? I'm curious because they seem the same on the outside to me. I'm not on Myspace or Facebook either, I just find making your life public creepy. And I don't post to Jaiku, I just read other people's stuff and comment here and there.
Hi Robert,
I have the same issue, and also route my Twitter feeds through Tumblr and Natuba, in addition to routing Twitter and Jaiku feeds through Facebook. How do you see the audiences for Twitter, Jaiku and Facebook as being different? I'm trying to do a demographic study and comparison between different social media/social networking sites, and it's not easy to get the most accurate, independent and up to date demographics. We were thinking of doing this study as part of a Social Media Club project, or I can just do it on my own.
Because of Twitterbar, I have decided to stick with my Twitter account because Twitterbar makes it so darn easy to post a message to my Twitter account. I have routed my Twitter feed to post into my Jaiku page so it's like being able to use both services without the need to choose. I currently don't have a Facebook account but I suppose I should jump on the bandwagon before it leaves me behind.
I post and discuss mainly now to Jaiku...I also have all my life stream data going into Jaiku.
I send blog updates directly to twitter with twitter tools for wordpress and then my feed gets pulled into Jaiku.
Facebook is still too passive for me. I've been experimenting with it and have a bunch of stuff streaming in, but I honestly don't spend much time there.
like I have to keep going back and scanning all the profile info on each person in my list in order to see what's new. Other than a direct messages or wall post which I get on my cell it's more effort than it seems worth.
Jaiku / Twitter keep you in the loop with how they constantly reach out. Even flickr sends you a daily update with what your contacts have been up to.
I don't use Facebook for photos (Flickr) or Videos (Viddler, Blip, YouTube)... I also maintain a pretty active blog for the stuff I'm really looking to say.
I think LinkedIn has a specific purpose - at least for me in job search mode... otherwise it's pretty solid when you are looking for biz dev contacts.
Seems like a lot of hype in Facebook with not much true substance. Yeah there are some group chats, but that existed previously and I don't see how facebook offers anything really more there - except (and perhaps this is it) that you are only in a friend of a friend network not an anyone can join thing like google groups.

I believe there is software to post to jaiku and twitter with the one post, such as http://www.froodz.com/ or do you refer to different content?

Another option is to route your Twitter feed into Jaiku, publish once for both services and then update to Facebook separately.

Do you prefer posting different updates to each or would you use a way to update all 3 at once?

I just post on Jaiku, and my Twitter feed is on Jaiku too.

That is the beauty of Jaiku, it lets you aggregate whatever services you're using that happen to use an RSS feed.

i'd say there really are different audiences. not just the services themselves, but mainly your friends and followers on each of them.
