My fb entries and connections are waaay public. And because it isn't like usenet (for many reasons, but lets not go there) I don't tend to post much on fb; I don't want to waste the time of my 640 connections with trivia. So none of my lj or dw posts or comments end up over there.
On livejournal I have about 50 connections, both from usenet and locally / from my work/school. But I'm not indiscriminate about it, so those posts are more personal. Here on dw, I've only got some usenet friends. This means I can post things here (with people who are mostly my age - not primarily 20-somethings - and with people who don't work with me) that I won't post elsewhere. I tend to lock all of my dw posts to you few people.
I think of the various venues as distinct communities - albeit I've chosen who of my friends is in each community. Crossposting all over the place would just get too insane, too quickly, and destroy the mental construct I have of the different groups.
I don't mind how much other people crosspost, although reading someone's near-continuous twitter stream crossposted to fb can be a bit much. But I completely understand anyone who wants to keep them separate.
