Two-faced Twitter
Stephen Davies is pissed off at Twitter users such as myself and Ged Caroll that pipe Twitter updates automatically to their Facebook profiles.
Examples of syndication exist all over the online and social media worlds. Twitter users cross post to blogs via widgets and vice versa by cross linking. There are no hard and fast rules of etiquette yet. We’re all learning.

First off, I apologise that you seem a little offended at the post. It wasn't aimed at anyone specifically - I have multiple Facebook friends that use Twitter to update their statuses and as my post states:
I'm not ranting "in a bad way" because it involves "some of my mates." "Hence the smileys."

I can’t see how I’ve been two-faced in the blog post?

Frequently? I've done it once or twice; thrice, maybe. I've just had a search through my tweets and I can only find the one you've linked to. It wasn't a comprehensive search but I can guarantee there will be no more than three cross-posts, if that.
You questioned me on Twitter: “Irony?” In my opinion there’s a difference between experimenting with something a couple of times and being ironic. Just my opinion, though.
Granted, maybe using “reeeeaaaalllly annoys me” was a bit strong given the context and spirit in which I wrote the post. For that I’m sorry. I thought the over-use of vowels might illustrate the light-heartedness in which it was meant. I wasn’t singling anyone out; certainly not you and particularly not Ged, who you’ve mentioned in this post and who I class as a mate and meet up with whenever we have time.

I'm not offended in the slightest - and I hope that you're not. We could both probably do with taking ourselves a little less seriously.
There's no rules yet, so I'm not sure how anyone can be right or wrong. P
But plenty of folk clearly agree with you though, judging from the comments to you post.

No not offended mate. Just thought you were that's all. That's the problem with text based communication.
