I have twitter on my profile, I don't use twitter to interact with friends at school but more with people from around the world. Sometimes I even put "twitter. see profile" in my facebook status. They should just make it so that a tiwtter, jaiku, pownce etc facebook app can automatically put your tweets or whatever into the facebook status.

Thibaut - I can get feeds for ALL my friends. Can I get a feed specifically for myself?

God, People are pathetic. Stop with the narcissism; your friends probably don't give a crap anyway. Cut this microblogging et al. out and go to the gym or do something else productive.
