I love Yahoo! Pipes

Feb 24, 2009 23:29

So, I had a problem. In my never-ending quest to link every social account I have on the internet, I wanted to start publishing my public LJ entries to my Facebook notes. This is simple enough, Facebook gives you what you need to do it (either through RSS or some other LJ voodoo), it's not really difficult at all ( Read more... )

Its not you, its everybody. aeduna February 24 2009, 22:28:00 UTC

Most of my entries are automagic Twitter digests. These digests are great for LJers who aren't on Twitter

...actually, I'd kill for a way to filter all the automatic twitter digests out of my friends list. I really don't need to know that at 8.34am someone said "hey, my muffin is nice"... if i did, I'd join twitter. Arriving on average 12 hours after the original comment, it tends to be trivial (duh, twitter) and nonsensical without context. And as of this week, each post appears to come along with a cookie request from a different host, so you can't just say "no, i don't want to accept cookies from twitter"

Wil Wheaton had this to say about Twitter ( ... )

Umm.. I'm not really that interested in what Wil Weaton has to say about twitter.. or twitter... or arguing about how I read lj... or what browser I should use.... Basically I was responding to Lee's "its great" with "actually no". Otherwise I wouldn't have said anything.

Well, I just thought I'd present what I thought was a good point of view on what twitter is about. If you just aren't interested, that's fine. Basically I was responding to your "Twitter is just about trivial crap" with "actually no". ;)

I wasn't trying to argue with you about how you read lj either, I was simply ranting about something I think is a problem with lj - but I didn't use an amusing rant tag at the end, so I guess that was why you took it as me wanting to argue. :P

Nor was I wanting to argue about what browser you use. I was just trying to point out a cookie setting that you may have missed in what ever browser you -are- using, which may help with the cookie problems you indicated you were having. I just happened to mention what I think is the best browser at the same time. :)

So, I used a social medium to present a few points of view that were different from yours. I am sorry if you took offense at anything I said but I didn't think I put any of it in a particularly vitriolic way.
