An Experiment

[rebelliousuno]

As an experiment I'm going to uncut the tweets

If people start getting pissed off with them then I'll cut them again...but we'll see

Blech.

[rebelliousuno.livejournal.com]

Is that an I'm going to get pissed off with them?

[blackic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but then I'm of the camp that thinks whoever came up with Loudtwitter should be spanked mercilessly until they are very sorry.

[rebelliousuno.livejournal.com]

loudtwitter is annoying if you're noisy...

But I tend not to be so noisy and since I don't also spam LJ its like you get an update from me once per day that is fairly small and you can skip over if needs be...

now if I could apply a filter in the loudtwitter so that only people on that filter could see them that would be ace

It's the duplication that bugs me, I think, there should be some way I can get around reading the same updates in LJ/Twitter/Facebook *ponders*

If you go to Customize Journal Style/Custom CSS in your profile and drop this code in:

.loudtwitter {
display: none!important
}

Then it should trim twitter posts down to a single link.

otherse ther's a grease monkey skript to strip them out to

[blackic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had a play with the greasemonkey script but can't get it to work, possibly cos I use a relatively uncommon LJ layout.

Found a nifty one that gets rid of a specific tag though, so if you get loudtwitter to tag your posts I can blast them that way.

Ooh, A Sturdy Gesture? That's like the easiest layout to write Greasemonkey scripts for (and also the one I use). I'll throw one together for you that kills that actual post once I have an uncut sample to test it on.

[rebelliousuno.livejournal.com]

Done
let me know when you've done it so I can kill this post

I've just got the script I had working! Abort development!

he's done now

Mmm, I'd use Loudtwitter if I could do that. I already wish I could filter the reposting to Facebook so that those who have Twitter don't need to see things again. I have to suffice with just reposting manually in TweetDeck rather than using the FB app, so at least I don't end up reposting a FollowFriday or something again...

[blackic.livejournal.com]

Have you seen http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/ ?

[illessa.livejournal.com]

hmm, no I hadn't, I'll probably stick with just unticking Facebook on Tweetdeck when it's something I don't want reposted though, works out as marginally less effort :P.

If you use email posting, you can do that.

I seem to recall that the lj-security tag should come first, if you do it this way.
