visible tattoos
More than anything I wanted them for me because I don't trust twitter to keep a permanent record. I'm just going to whip up an rss archiver and store them that way instead.

From my point of view, if I want to follow someone on Twitter, I will follow them on Twitter. I understand, though, that some people want some of that info without signing up for a new account. Perhaps keep with the digests, but post them under an explicitly opt-in filter? Or perhaps set them up as a separate feed for people to add to their friendslist?
I do think it's an interesting concept, and the social dynamics around it are interesting to think and talk abooooot.
I don't like opt-in filters because I have to manage them. But I can easily make a community with only one poster (me) and people can follow that community if they want the digests.
So yeah. I can understand wanting your own record, but jeez. Keep in mind, though, it wasn't just you on my f-list and that just compounds the annoyance. When 25% or more of people just post twitter (or regularly do) at length, it's frustrating. So it wasn't like, OMG DANIEL STOP, it was wishing people in general would cut back on those long twitter entires. So, thank you for being the seemingly second person to take this into consideration. :)
I'll figure it all out though. Somehow.

That having been said, I skip everybody's twitter posts. So if you want me to know something, don't twitter it and expect me to read it later. =)
So far, not a single person has said they liked it. And, truth be told, I skip over those in the blogs/journals I read too... but usually that's because I subscribe that person's Tweets to my phone.
