Weekly twitter links (March 30th)

3

Given that I’ve been diverting a fair amount of attention to posting on Twitter lately (@puredanger) I thought maybe it would be worthwhile dropping the set of links I post there to this blog. I’m on the fence about whether this is actually annoying or useful. I’m sure you’ll let me know. :)

    The content is fine but can you add even more borders to the table? Looks especially great in Google Reader :-)

    I think keeping original content and delicious links and twitter posts in separate feeds is the best option. All 3 of those services offer a subscription mechanism already. Why not just put a twitter widget on your web page here?

    In general, I am sympathetic to that view. I hate seeing delicious link spam in a blog feed and this is uncomfortably close to that.

    I did actually have a Twitter widget on the web page in the bottom left corner but it seemed kind of pointless so I killed it off a while back. :) The thing is that I save links on delicious *for me* and I put links on Twitter *for others*. So, just scraping the links out of my tweets actually pulls what I consider to be newsworthy or fun links from the last week into one place where non-Twitterites (sad souls though they may be) can consume them in one weekly gulp.

    I make no guarantees that I’ll keep doing this but seems like something different to try right now. If someone put together a fully client-side Javascript version and it rolled, I would be happy to just switch to that.
