I +1 you

Cheerful, advert-packed and privacy-invading Facebook.  The addictive hashtagging stranger-stalking fun of Twitter.  The gleaming white and gaping white and empty white of Google+.  And now this very blog.

So, accepting that I can only wring a finite amount of amusement from my just-in-Zone-1 existence, where should I put the best bits?  Should I scatter the jokes and highlights around each of them?  Or should, say, Twitter be a masterwork of vas deferens-damaging chortledom, whereas Facebook could house all my upsettingly prosaic mind-jetsam.  'I seem to have run out of milk'.  'I quite like some of Coldplay'.  'At what point should I go to the doctor with it?'.  Etc.

Or should I post the same thing on all of the platforms, ensuring that every single person I electronically know is exposed to the same level of brain-alteringly witty give-that-man-more-sex banter?  This would however mean that anyone who knows me on more than one forum would get bombarded by a face-hurtingly repetitive barrage of identiupdates.  YES I KNOW YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF MILK.

And this leads to the problem of terminology.  I follow people on Twitter.  People can be my friend on Facebook.  People, very few, very damaged people, are the audience of this blog (or, as I like to call you, traffic).  Not sure what it's called on Google+.  Perhaps you circle people.  But, given Google+'s design ethic, any text describing this would be in white on a white background.  It's sooo empty.  It's like spending a Wednesday in a caravan filled with foam.

So, anyway, I have decided that where I place things will depend entirely on their length.  Tiny thoughts: Twitter.  Mediocre-length updates: Facebook.  Cascading logorrhea: here.  Which leaves what for Google+?  Quite.

Yes, you *do*.
