My Facebook Page, or Whither LJ?

filkertomI've noticed that I do a lot more posting directly to my personal Facebook page lately.
Part of this is simple convenience of technology: The FB App turns out to be pretty darn good. Not perfect for posting, necessarily -- it's much tougher to edit a post from a mobile device after the fact -- but brilliant for checking my news feed, which I never really did much before but now do all the time. And I comment more, and share more, and and and.
I suppose since many of the posts I make directly to FB are in fact shares, it's not something I have to worry about much. But I can't help but notice that, the more I do on FB, the less I do on LJ. (And the irony of this being cross-posted to both services and Twitter after I originally wrote it on DreamWidth is not lost to me.)
I guess what I'm saying is, I'll keep using LJ/DW for in-depth stuff, video links, web pages I want to share... it's not like I'm using my iThingie for everything, or even a lot of things. But I am using it to be more active directly on FB, and so you might want to check my feed there now and again.
What are your current social media sites of choice? I've pretty much abandoned MySpace, LinkedIn is trying so hard to be a one-stop shop that they've obscured what made them important in the first place, and I simply haven't had the inclination to explore Google+. But I like Pinterest.
