[LOUD]Twitter Thoughts

[danielefton]

So I was tweeting this, but I think i decided that at the 4th tweet in half as many minutes it should have been an lj entry.

# DanielEfton So, decided to start editing my loudtwitter posts to lj instead of making separate posts, this will make those posts more interesting
# DanielEfton Told LT to stop putting replies in the batch, not sure how i feel

Your loudtwitter only updates once a day as is. It batches them together into one post. Its like that with all of the loudtwitter people.

obvious answer is obvious.....

you confuse me. I am thinking about changing WHEN it batches them.

hmm. I dont see how it's relevent when it updates. The people that hate loudtwitter will still scroll and the people that read everything will still be all over it.

I suppose a truly honest answer would be this; You already know I dont read twiiter posts. I scroll through them all. I figure that I have a limited time to read my friends, why take up time to read a twiiter batch when they didnt bother to take the time to log onto LJ and do a real update?

Having said that, if the batch would update to LJ during a slow time of the day when I was itching for more content on my friends page, then I suppose I might read it, as there is no other competition for my reading time at that moment.

But what I would like to do, is have LT update the batch to lj at a point in the day when I am least active (asleep) so that things are congruent and not split as happens when I work third shift. And then when I have a chance to do so, edit the post and turn it into a real entry, with information/anecdotes that wouldn't fit into a 140 character tweet. like this or more.

be honest - you skimmed this post didn't you LOL

It makes sense BUT if you're just going to get online to edit the twits [er, add on to them].. why not just wait and update your LJ at that time. Then you don't have to worry about friends skipping over it *cough*sabatoa*cough* lol
