I can't filter like I can here, or not use my real name.
So, LJ is for personal real stuff. Facebook is for fluffy crap that I don't care if anyone reads.
I like to think that if social networking sites had personalities, Facebook would be the obnoxious cheerleader who brags about how many friends she has and has to tell all the details of her personal life and gossip to everyone.
LJ is for the more reserved loner type who prefers a smaller circle of friends and doesn't have to tell everyone everything all the time. Also, their privacy policies and filtering suck a lot less.
