I vow not to ‘crosspost’ with social media

I will not use twitter, tumblr or my facebook news feed to announce a new blog post.

Who’s with me?

[EDIT] I also vow to keep twitter and Facebook statues separate. (Thanks Si, although that’s a harder one).

The reason is that I don’t want to contibute to the “background noise” I describe here.

    Do you mean notifying people automatically or manually?

  • bounder

    It’s the automatic stuff that is starting to annoy me.

    Yes, yes, yes!

    Why not go further and resist duplicating status from Twitter to Facebook? Irritating when I get feeds from both.

    One step at a time , Si. I fear my facebook status would never get updated again.

    I’ve turned off twitter to FB too.
