However, in general, I have stopped posting article links on the blog unless they are part of a larger post. Instead, I am posting them as links on my personal profile. Some have even generated a bit of discussion. If you want to join (or follow) that conversation, become my friend: link
SB writes: posting links to only your fb page is limiting.
#1) realize that fb puts a limit of 2000 people who can be friends with you.
#2) realize that a lot of people don’t use facebook (or don’t use it a very wide open fashion, i.e. limit who their friends are).
there are probably other things.
at the end of the day, if your goal is to spread things you feel a wide group of people would be interested in, facebook (and twitter) are the wrong forums for them.
personally, I find twitter to fundamentally broken, more so than even haloscan comments, as there’s no way to follow conversations effectively).
