I have friends who use LoudTwitter (yes, > it drives me crazy too, because my thought is, if I'm interested in what you > have to say on Twitter, I will follow you), I feel like I'm one of six people on LJ who likes to read LoudTwitter posts. I *don't* want to bother following people on another site. I'm very happy to have tweets thrown at me like an RSS feed; I have a few friends who are active on Twitter and not much on LJ, and I'm happy to have a way to keep up with them. And while I don't want detailed cluttered "Am going to bank now... have started cooking dinner now... OMG saw a cool commercial with a dog!" posts all over the place... at least Tweets are short. I can scroll past if I'm not interested. > It's not acceptable because it's not just one person shipping 10, 20 or more > tweets per day without a cut, it's *multiple people* on my very large > friends/reading list doing it, And for some of us, it's only a few. I'm aware that it'd be pretty annoying if I had six of them in a row from different people. (However, I do love the "reader can collapse twitterposts" idea.) > and it's damned annoying. If I wanted to read > their tweets, I'd follow them on Twitter. I wouldn't. I don't want to log into multiple sites to keep track of people. I'd be content if they posted their 140-word updates to LJ instead of Twitter, but I don't expect them to do that. > It would be nice if we could default tweets to a cut, but it looks like > that's an issue for some people.... Yep. I don't like tweets being defaulted to cut. I'm not likely to click on a twitter cut, but I'm happy to read them on my f'list. > And I'm sorry to have started a kerfuffle. Is good kerfuffle. We need to hash this stuff out, sort out how people use their journals, sort out what tech options are available & what could be developed, and what should be offered, and what could be default. -- "I follow Eris blindly in all things.
