To twit or not to twit...

Note: I've been working on this post for over a week. Time and a desire to get this post complete have delayed it)

As many have noticed I've recently added overnight twitter aggregation to my LiveJournal. To give the full detail, I've in fact linked a twitter account, a facebook account, and my LiveJournal.

Wow. That was sooooooo long...and behind a cut.....

I thought I would NEVER make it to the end...(smirk)

(O.K., now to the content)

You must have very different friendships than I. I use the posting aspect of my LJ for two reasons: 1) express my emotional state & personal views and 2) promote my artistic expression. I'm not certain I would even acknowledge someone asking me to alter my posting habits. Maybe I would. But it has never happened.

Seriously. I have had people "unfriend" me in the past, and I assume (rather safely, I think) that they either were not interested in my emotional state and/or personal views, or they didn't care to see another Eleusyve update, ever. Since there is no way I would stop either of those things, I don't really worry about it.

I suspect there might be people who would prefer to be filtered out of one type of post or the other, but filtering my public announcements would be rather counter to the fact that I like them public...

Then again, maybe that's why they drop me as an LJ friend and don't ask me to change. I am just too predictable. And, for what it is worth, I don't equate being dropped as an LJ friend with being dropped as a friend. I have many friends who have no interest in reading my blog.

So, from my perspective, you got yourself an odd request there...they must feel very close to you in order for them to request that you to alter your blog to suit them. I'd feel weird doing it.
