Should you Connect your Twitter and Facebook Updates 100% of the Time?

To connect or not to connect?  That is the question many ask themselves early in their usage of Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites.

You can automatically push your Twitter update into Facebook, or you can automatically push your Facebook update into Twitter through the use of some popular add-ons.  But should you?

Personally, I experimented with the connection and quickly broke the link when I realized that I wanted to use Facebook for a different purpose than Twitter.  However, many do keep the link without concern.

I tend to update more serious, promotional topics on Twitter whereas Facebook tends to be my closer friends.  Twitter followers tend to be more anonymouse while Facebook friends really are friends.

Think carefully how your message will be received before you link your accounts.
