And it's not because I don't feel happy with Facebook. It's because people get quite enough spamminess over there already.

On LJ, not only is it a single daily post*, but it's also got a tag, which means that you can block it if you so wish**.

Twitter, I don't mind overloading, because that's what Twitter is all about.

Facebook, on the other hand, would suddenly be getting a load of new posts from me, which would just piss people off.

I will be feeding them to Google+ _if_ they implement tags, so that people can choose to filter out those entries.

*If someone knows how to do a daily post on FB from an RSS feed then please let me know, because I'd be happy enough to do that.
**Go here, find me, and tell it not to show anything tagged with "delicious glue".

For facebook, import a feed as notes, you could just use the tagfeed for delicious glue if you want.

I send everything to FB because while I barely use it for a lot of friends it's the only thing they use, so I get a fair few 'likes' and comments on posts there.

Better than abandoning, although I think I'll go delete a lot of aquintances at some point.

You can import any one feed Import notes, so if you just want your delicious daily post you can import the feed from that (I forget how to get just that feed, but it'll show on the sidebar of the tagpage IIRC), if you want to do something more complex you'll need to find a feed messer abouter, like Pipes.

That's crap, I import everything so it doesn't bother me. Try something like Pipes or Feedburner to make the feed URL more sane? And complain to Facebook lots.

DW is planning to prettify all URLs at some point so there's never an operator, but I don't think that's even claimed by a dev yet.

I would think directing it to a specific opt-in Circle (also not implemented, yet...) on G+_ would suffice -- the point isn't that people can filter so much as people can choose if they'd like to see it. From a UX perspective, it's much the same outcome.

By "opt-in," I was meaning the kludge of "ask the audience and add" that we're using on LJ, actually. I'm not sanguine about a technical solution coming anytime soon. *sigh*
