So, the twitter via LJ Feed experiment hasn't worked out so well. I wasn't really taking into account the fact that syndicated LJ accounts update at more or less completely random intervals, meaning it will often pick up a bunch of tweets at once. And then, the way the twitter RSS interacts with the way LJ formats RSS means every tweet is posted

The little tweats weren't bothering me, FWIW.

Well, aside from the fact that I don't have a better solution yet, LJ feeds are not easily deletable, so the syndicated version will continue to function as long as I'm using Twitter. Though if I stop us9ing it directly, I won't see comments on it anymore. But it's still on my list for now pending other options.

Ah, I didn't realize you were even getting the comments (I don't think I'd bothered commenting on anything for that reason) so I likely wouldn't notice if you switched to something else and stopped reading your own tweats. I don't mind the way Connie does it eather, although I likewise don't comment there.

The comments aren't mailed to me (since nobody officially own LJ feeds), but I put the feed on my f-list, so I'll see comments within the first day or two from whenever the feed posted. Unless I find a better solution and de-friend it.

This is belated, but http://www.peekfeed.com/ might be a solution to your twitter problem.

Hmm, interesting. Might be helpful. I'll sign up and see how it handles the formatting. Thanks.
