Others like http://hootsuite.com, http://welshare.com , http://tweetdeck.com can give you a more-or-less unified experience but still give you the options to differentiate what you share on each network.

If you have a business, then have a Facebook business account and a Facebook Twitter account. Now it makes sense. You also want to "drip" pertinent, useful info to your followers. Don't bombard them with "chit chat" and crap. Then you can now and then sprinkle them with business stuff...what you carry, specials, discounts, etc... Just don't bombard them. Just keep up a cheerful, useful presence. Don't be thought of as a nuisance. Jeff Russ,

It's interesting that Facebook seems to be more personal than Twitter. I supposed with the amount of information sharing on there it's probably been designed that way. There are obviously exceptions to my rule, but unless I specifically seek out a company or site to be a "fan" of on Facebook, I don't really want a stream of updates or promos coming through. I'm more interested in what's going on with my FB friends on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis, as opposed to a Twitter type stream of updates from them. I've used the hide feature a lot on FB there too. Thanks for the reply Grace. It’s interesting that Facebook seems to be more personal than Twitter.

Facebook is for mostly "real life" friends and family. I haven't used it as much lately, but when I do use Twitter, it is mainly for contacts that are internet-based and/or networking. I can think of 2 friends in particular that are both twitter and facebook connections. They combine their Twitter and FB updates. Because I got tired of reading the same thing sort of updates twice, I now "hide" them both on Facebook. I agree with you. Facebook is for mostly “real life” friends and family.
