Looks like I've figured this out, finally. If only there was an option that made Twitter only ship once a week, then I would be happy. If you're interested, read the Twitters below. If you aren't, that's cool, just don't comment as I'd rather not feel guilty about it. Thanks! <3

Hey - followed your instructions to get rid of these twitter posts but it didn't work, and I get this same post on my Friends page over and over again. Anythiing I can do? I don't mean to sound rude but can't stand seeing this same twitter post over and over. You asked that people talk to you and don't just de-friend you out of the blue so that's my purpose here, but may need to defriend if I cant get rid of the darn twitter stuff some other way.
Thx,
-A

The code is to get rid of the Twitter feed, but it will not get rid of any text put before/after the feed, or the post itself. You will just see a blank (or in my case, this same paragraph or whatever paragraph I put before the cuts) entry whenever it comes up. I'm sorry to hear that, for whatever reason, this annoys you sufficiently to wish to compromise/end our friendship. I enjoy sharing my day to day life, and random thoughts, with my friends and that is why I ship my Twitters. Just like I skip over many of my friends' meme and quiz postings, I just assume that if people do not wish to read my Twitters, they can simply skip past them. I try to make them as inobtrusive as possible, and I try to ship them at a strange hour (currently 11pm) so that they are easier to ignore. If you have any suggestions as to how I can make it so that they are easier for you to ignore, please let me know, as I do not wish to lose a friend over something so trivial. I would limit shipments to once a week if possible, but the program currently ( ... )

I have to agree with andoriah, though. :| I find the repetition of stuff from other networks pretty annoying, though I tried for you for awhile since you've been trying so hard to make it easy.

You know, I just made the announcement on my LJ that I had a Twitter and let those with Twitter follow me if they wanted and left it at that. I think you've done an excellent job of trying to be unobtrusive, but if you do insist on doing them since obviously some folks aren't on Twitter I would suggest possibly doing what slyfoxesq did and create a filter. So, for example, create a post asking what folks would like to follow your Twitter feed here on LJ. Then create a custom friends group and only add those people to it. And when you post the feed have it only viewable to that group.

Let me know if this seems like a good solution for ya - because if not, I think I might stop watching you here and just add you to Twitter if that's okay.
