So apparently everyone in the world hates when you post your Twitter on your journal, behind a cut or not. Who knew? I've already stopped the Twitter LJ posts, FYI ( Read more... )

I think Twitter is absolutely stupid, but I would never tell someone that they shouldn't/wouldn't post about it on LJ.

Someone once twittered thusly: Tweet is to blog as fart is to turd.

Both parts of the same thing, I suppose. I see twitter as being slightly more social and random than livejournal. I find myself liking it more, now that I actually know a few people on it. It's helped me to plan an open invite outing, wherein I met a few people I hadn't before.

It's also an interesting study. I find it fascinating to watch what random people are posting. I look at the younglings that post "NE hot girls with nude pics to trade?" I see girls (mostly) who request that people rate their posted picture (non-nude). Someone nearby does geocacheing (sp?) and notes his findings. People talk about weather phenomena. How often do you start up a conversation with a group of people around you that you've never met? Twitter can be like that, but just a little more spatially spread out than if you were talking with people who could actually hear you.

Hmm . . . I suppose I might reconsider. That is, after all, what cuts are for.

I don't mind the Twitter Posts. I just don't get the whole Twitter thing, it's so random.

I don't get why it's THAT annoying to pass over an LJ cut...does it really take up that much time/space? Maybe it does and I just don't have that many LJ friends. I don't understand what most people are talking about on Twitter, but it doesn't bother me to read them. I think if some people enjoy reading them, you should keep them.
