I do wonder what constitutes "a little" and "a lot". As I don't post everyday and can sometimes go a week or ten days without posting, I decided on 'a little'. In my case, the 'somewhere else' is Insanejournal where people migrated on the last but one hate-LJ spat, and where I registered to keep my posting name clear of imitators. Same with Dreamwidth.

Everything I post on DW cross-posts to LJ, and most things I post on Twitter appear as status updates on FB. In my opinion, my LJ is the most interesting!

The 'somewhere else' is with_a_trollope, and has a much more sporadic update system. I'm still working to upload my fic to Dreamwidth, but that's slow because it's not very high on my priorities list at the moment. Other than that, I won't use Facebook, and don't particularly care for Twitter.

Multiple Personalities, or what?

I mirror my LJ to IJ (but without the twitterings).
The ravens do Ravelry too, but that's rather more niche.

Oh, and I have a second blog and twitter feed in my author's pseudonym.

The LibraryThing account's in my alternative ID (and is, in any case, shared).

I've an account on LinkedIn, too, but it's not hugely active. It's about the only place I use my real name online.

Mainly, these days, I find I tweet.

I very rarely actually post anything to facebook directly, but ticked a lot as I've feeds into it from both lj and twitter.

I put a post a little on both Facebook and LJ/DW, but the difference is that I read LJ/DW every day, and comment a fair amount, whereas I may go weeks without doing anything other than (fluff)friends on FB.

LJ/DW posting is quite likely to go in waves - I have a longer post I keep meaning to make, but it takes a while to do so and then when I have, I don't mind making shorter ones.

My 'somewhere else' is InsaneJournal, and is used specifically for Potterporn (and puppy training...)

I'd completely forgotten that I have a Dreamwidth account, so didn't tick the 'never post' on that one.

As soon as I submitted my answers, I remembered my forlorn little MySpace page, which I actually keep in good shape (just switched to the new style) even though I don't do anything with it anymore. I've made as many contacts with my YouTube account as I ever did with MySpace.

I'm probably Commentzilla then. I comment more than posting. What does that say about a person, I wonder?

[bunn.livejournal.com]

I have two twitter accounts: I maintain the Oldies Club twitter account, and post on that usually several times a day. And I have a personal twitter account which I mostly use for local news and gardening contacts, on which I post relatively rarely.

I am also a member of scads of topic-specific forums and email discussion groups, some specific to my job, others specific to my volunteering - too many to list.

The Oldies Club charity originated and is almost entirely run via social media of various sorts, including various web forums and Facebook.

Why?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Purely idle curiosity, bunn.

I mirror my Livejournal entries to Dreamwidth, Insanejournal and Inksome, but Dreamwidth is the only other networking site I take seriously.

I am on Twitter under my usual handle; however, I don't feel very comfortable with micro-blogging (yet?).

In my real-life identity, I am on Facebook (used very rarely to look at some colleagues' and online friends' pictures), Xing (used sometimes to read through discussions for recent graduates in the big scary real world of office life) and StudiVZ (German Facebook clone, used occasionally to get in touch with former schoolmates).

But it's only LJ where I feel entirely comfortable.

[didiusjulianus.livejournal.com]

I post in various places about various things to various groups of people. There isn't much overlap and that is the way I like it. This is the only proper journalling place I am on. Given I am not much of a journaller, this is wise.

I DON'T Tweet though (urgh). And I find a lot of social networking styles/places rather boring, so there are only a couple of places that I log into really regularly for entertainment or thought-provocation, the rest are for convenience or necessity of some sort. (Although I am thinking about making a 'landgrab' for me and some other family members, while I think of it).

My somewhere else is flickr. I'm not on twitter, hardly anyone I know, is - as far as I know, anyway. Been considering it in order to follow some of the famous interesting people, but have decided I have plenty of stuff to distract me from work on the internet already :)
