what amount to out of context snippets of conversation
This? This is a problem. Loudtwitter has a really easy option to remove replies, so you only get content, not conversations, which is what I've set mine to. Others prefer to import everything, I don't get the point as one half of a conversation is pointless, normally.
But the rest of my tweets are normally fairly useful, and I'm specifically using it in order to add content elsewhere, it replaces my old use of direct text messaging posts and similar.
The code should remove the entire list of tweets and not waste any space, that's what it did for me. It may do weird stuff on other layouts, I've no way of knowing but am happy to look if someone has a problem.
I agree with Debi-I have a lot of friends on Twitter and Facebook that don't read my LJ directly, and have others on LJ that don't use Twitter; especially for links and stuff I want to share it's a good way of getting stuff out there.
People that are just using Twitter for the sake of Twitter that export are, to an extent, backing up content dynamically, but that's it. But Debi and I are both using Twitter for itself and to transport stuff elsewhere, so my tone and content in tweets is different-I regularly get long discussions on my Facebook status update tweets, especially if I've linked to something, which is cool.
Good to know about the coding! I'll have to take a look.
I can also see how if the tweets are done in a way where it's imparting a certain kind of information in a certain manner, then LoudTweets make sense. (Esp since I assume they'd also gather up those posts in a sort of context, even if it's just "All tweets done today" where arguably the collected post is more useful than ferreting out the tweets on one's, erm, twitlist ;) )
I guess the problem lies with those who aren't using the connected system in a mindful manner, and the LJ posts are just a backup archive of sentences that don't mean anything. Which is why the cut tags work so well for someone like me, because they cut down on the noise on my flist, but it's an easy click (esp with various Firefox extensions) to read the content if I want to.
I'll have to try the code out though, to see if that's even more helpful. So much obliged on your input there =)
