new twitter philosophy: If I don’t think something is blog-post-worthy, then I’m not going to tweet it. This is partially (ok, pretty much wholly) because it will now show up here.
I’m still working on fixing twitter-tools, to get all my tweets into a Twitter category, but I made this post initially in twitter (via IM!), and it did indeed show up here on my blog. (Not right away, but not terribly long after either. I do wonder wherein lies the delay…) Anyway, the only thing that I was a bit unhappy about was that my initial Tweet was too long, and it got ellipses-ized. (I would rather Twitter just tell me the tweet is too long, so I can re-write it a bit shorter.)
I also wish there was some way to indicate to twitter-tools where the title of the post should end and the post should begin… maybe a line break? I haven’t experimented with this yet, but I’ll bet I could do a bit of custom hacking to allow me to use whatever delimiter I wanted.
UPDATE: I have now hacked my copy of twitter-tools.php to use “:” to indicate the end of a title for creating blog posts, and also to not make blog posts at all out of tweets that begin with the “@” character. I’m really enjoying this plugin hacking, and I may just have to write my own, if I can think of a project that sounds interesting enough.
