Chateau Morrisette has had a Facebook page for quite a while, and when I opened our Twitter account, I linked them together, thinking this was a good idea. Not so, as I learned during #cabernetday at the beginning of the month. Twitter is an ideal platform for rapid-fire messages and real-time interactions. Facebook is not. Many FB fans were upset by the amount of posts that were automatically placed on our page from our Twitter site, as we were posting every minute or so during a real-time tasting. I quickly unlinked the two, and that has worked much better. Now, the only time I post a FB link on Twitter is if it takes the follower to a photo album, note, or discussion. It might take a little more time to post on each place, but since the platforms are quite different and our fans/followers seem to be focused on different things, it is worth it.

Great point, if you want response, make it easy and short. People have a short attention span and move on quickly.

I missed this when it was first posted, but it definitely outlines exactly how I feel when I have to click through a FB status from a tweet. Diminishing returns is exactly the result of this tomfoolery, and though I was a diligent clicker-through when I first got into Twitter, now that I follow 500+ people and have several tabs perpetually open, that extra effort might mean a nixed reading opportunity.

I completely agree, Pamela! Maybe after all of these comments, people will start to get the idea that it is doing a disservice.
