LJ vs. Facebook

[sleigh]

I tend to post mostly to LJ, with Facebook automatically picking up my LJ posts as "Notes." I prefer LJ to FB for posting since, well, I'm long-winded -- I suppose it comes from being a novelist. The character restrictions on FB I find too limiting, especially since some subjects demand more than just a surface examination. (It was the even more restrictive character limitations that drove me rather quickly from Twitter -- that and the inanity of most of the tweets I was reading.)

But... I'm noticing an interesting trend and am wondering if other LJ/FB users are noticing the same: I'm getting more responses to my posts from FB than from LJ now. I don't know if it's the 'immediacy' of FB, or that I have a slightly different set of people watching FB rather than LJ. But even my 'friends' on LJ who are also on FB are tending to post more to FB than to LJ.

Anyone else seeing the same tendency?

I'm still getting more responses on LJ, but I find it curious when an LJ friend responds on FB.

I do as well, but find it's happening more frequently. There seems to be a set of people who started on LJ, but now seemingly prefer FB (or at least check it more frequently and thus post there).
