Don't Tweet to Facebook unless...

IMHO it's bad form to automatically feed your Facebook status with your Twitter tweets as a one-way toss over the transom. I'm seeing an increasing number of Facebook accounts where my newsfeed shows someone's status update along with replies and ensuing conversations, but where the original poster is oblivious to this because they don't check in on Facebook.
It's OK to connect your services, but be responsible for the conversations you start.
Just saying.
From Berkeley to Honolulu via Google Maps, Good Shoes and a Paddle
Submitted by Steve Nelson on Tue, 2009-06-16 09:46. berkeley | google | kayaking | walkingI asked Google Maps the quickest way of getting from Berkeley to Hawaii, and it suggested an interesting route of driving from Berkeley up to Seattle and then kayaking to Honolulu. Why drive, I thought, so here is the route from the Clear Ink office to Honolulu via foot and paddle. Click the link at the bottom that says "View Larger Map" to see the exact route. I love the disclaimer: "Use caution – This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths."

Ashton Kutcher, media mogul, leapfrogs newspapers in "subscribers"

Ashton Kutcher now has more subscribers on Twitter than any US newspaper except USA Today and Wall Street Journal has for its paper news.
He's closing fast on those two that one. (In the one day since I started writing this blog, he's surpassed the Wall Street Journal).
If you don't think the comparison counts, I wonder how many of his 2 million followers buy or read paper news as regularly as they check Twitter?
How does this flocking behavior work in social media? Kind of like this (RT @aplusk):
