*BITCHES HARD*

Dudes, I UNDERSTAND that Twitter won't let you archive stuff. But seriously: we don't care.

AMAZINGLY BRIGHT IDEA FROM WHELK, take it, it's free, I'm throwing it our there for all of youse, free of charge:

START A NEW LIVEJOURNAL ACCOUNT

for your Tweets and you can read them back to your heart's content. But we all don't have to friend it, yeah? Just planting seeds...

ETA: Better yet, get together with a bunch of your Twitter-minded friends and LoudTwitter the lot of your Tweets to ONE Livejournal community. That, at least, would get the lot off our friendspages, and, if you're lucky, might produce an interesting piece of postmodern art. I don't know if LoudTwitter would let you do that, but I bet it would, all it wants is a URL, right?

You should do what you want, allthough I am genuinely ineterested to know why so many people feel the need to feed them through to their LJ's. They are a collection of random thoughts and half-sentences from people's lives and they're usually either simply confusing or feel vaguely voyeuristic. Like I said, I understand if people want to save them, I'm sure they have their reasons, but maybe a sub-journal would be better.

Better yet, maybe a bunch of like-minded people could get together and feed them to a community of some sort? That might be way more random and fun, because you'd get a collection of thoughts from several people in one place. I don't know if that LoudTwitter thing would let you do that, though.

or feel vaguely voyeuristic

Thought that was the point of LJ. Heh.

Twits Tweets are annoying.

You can only twitter to your main journal, not to a community, so that's that plan foiled!

And they get fed through LJ simply for the fact that, like you said, they *don't* get archived anywhere, so it's nice to have them on LJ.

And I shall say what I always say when people bitch about their friendslists and stuff..."you know where the defriend button is"

DAMN! It was such a beautiful plan.

Though that's not true, I've seen tweets in a comm.

Really? Hmm, anyway, I wouldn't want my Tweets in a community, cuz it's just complicated and I wouldn't want to read tweets of people I don't know, and likewise I don't want people I don't know reading them on my LJ.

[tencrush]

No, you can.

HA!

[forgiveninasong.livejournal.com]

But the simple thing is...I don't want to! :p

[tencrush]

Not even for the sake of ART? Philistine.

[forgiveninasong.livejournal.com]

Nope! I don't want my tweets out in public...my twitter page is a restricted one anyway, as is my LJ.
