hmm. Sounds complex to me, but what do I know? As it is, Twitter the service doesn't provide much, it's all the apps that make it super useful and fun, so it'd be interesting to see how they might change to accommodate new ideas.

I'm debating the merits of re-disconnecting fb from my tweet feed. I have so many people on facebook now, that it's causing me to self censor (for example, because large amounts of family and business friends of my dad's from my childhood are friended on fb, I don't feel free to tweet about my dad's health, lest it set off a panic storm).

Having them connected is REALLY convenient, especially since I like the feedback that facebook allows for, but in the absence of a per-tweet censor, I'm starting to think I need to limit my tweets to just you guys.

Haven't decided for sure yet...

I believe there's an app that lets you tag your tweets with #fb for the ones you want to post to your Facebook page. Otherwise, they don't.

I use BriteKite which has post level privacy settings, alas the private one's stay only in the BriteKite world were access can be managed, but my public posts there, go to Twitter (which I keep private), and then to Facebook, where you can manage access again. At the moment Facebook is purely personal for me and I use LinkedIn to do any professional social networking.

So far the only "strangers" that have friended me on BriteKite have been real people, who commented on pictures, or were in proximity, so I've been fine with that

I apparently need to explore britekite better. I've only really used it to post photos.

That's mainly what I do with it, but it feeds into everything else

True, but then advanced functions only work for people using the same app or groups of apps that agree to work together on a feature.

All the solutions on per-post privacy are going to be pretty much equally complex, you're just shifting around who's doing the work and how universal the result will be.

The British Government has released a document advising civil servants about using Twitter (you know: the service with a 140 character limit). That document is 20 pages; more than 5,000 words.

You're the second person I've seen point to that article.

I guess I'm not seeing the irony that others apparently find in that. Twitter's own help page is several hundred times longer than the character limit of a single tweet and that's just for the overview page.
