And you're absolutely right about the different sub-cultures and -communities within Facebook. I can only speak to my own network, but I find myself filtering my content on Facebook for the common denominator (if there is one) across all of my clusters of connections.

A potential rule of thumb I read somewhere recently is that if you tweet more than 10x a day, it may be overload for your Facebook friends (even if they're not actively complaining to you). I think that's probably true for any News Feed updates -- when I wrote 40 reviews in my first two days on Yelp (pushed to Facebook via Facebook Connect) I got some flak from my network for flooding their feeds.
