Introducing jtweets....
OK this Twitter has caused a bit of a slowdown, I'll admit, in the rate of my entries on LJ. After all, instead of spending the time to properly elucidate my thoughts in a blog entry about how it was like dealing with the SLA, I can just twitter it in 140 characters. (Some things, though, deserve a proper blog entry so I will still be writing about them.)
I have also caught on the bandwagon of aggregating your tweets with LoudTwitter. The side-effect of these related trends of the rate of tweets being inversely proportional to the rate of LJ entries is that your LJ tends to look like it's nothing more than a daily collection of quips, each 140 characters long. And somewhere within those tweets, you get a couple of journal entries which could be amusing, heartwarming, insightful or provocative (I claim to be none of these, BTW) but are all lost in the mass of tweets.
Looking back at the LoudTwitter downtime recently, I realised that my LJ had more character when LoudTwitter wasn't working, but yet I feel this strange need to collect my tweets somewhere instead of having them lost to posterity once they disappear beneath the 'Read More' button since they are still my thoughts and could be stuff about which there are stories to be told or things I want to say. That's when I came up with this idea of creating a separate LJ to function solely as a tweet aggregator without clogging up my LJ whenever there weren't things I wanted to write a great deal on.
So it is at this juncture that I would like to introduce... jtweets!
All my LoudTwitter posts will now be directed there instead, leaving jemauvais solely for proper journal entries. So for those of you who don't have Twitter (or who prefer to read my tweets on LJ as well as Twitter), please feel free to add jtweets to your friends list. All posts there will remain public so I won't be adding anyone back on its friends lists but I do assure you that should I ever decide to lock my LoudTwitter posts in the future, I will add all of you back so you can continue reading.
Heck you might even realise that it may even be a better idea to read jtweets instead of jemauvais because you can be assured that with the 140 character limit, there will be no long, rambly, and boring posts there! :P
