I certainly will. You can, of course, already subscribe directly to the twitter feed. It just won't be in digest format.

I REALLY liked the digest. I would check it almost every day and see the tweets I missed (usually because they were directed @ someone). If you setup a separate RSS feed would you let me know so I can subscribe to it?

The community approach worked well for me. Turns out only 6 people were interested in those digests.

That's what I've been doing… only I see mine as SMS messages.

I guess so. But, if even gets tedious for me to scroll past a day's worth of Tweet Digests because I know I've seen them already in my phone. What's sad is that I occasionally get good, awesome comments on my "Yesterday, In brief" posts from people who either don't subscribe to my Tweets or didn't see it the first time around.

I'll figure it all out though. Somehow.

Nope. I just moderate the comments of users who aren't registered to try to keep the spammers at bay.

I miss my regular posts too. I haven't had one in ages. It seems that my time is being eaten from every corner and my perfectionist nature keeps me from doing anything too quickly. I'm changing that too, though. I want to write more. I want to share more. It's good for me. I just have to find a way I can do that. And I think I'm almost there…. if I can just find the time to make it happen. ha.

Seeing the same thing twice is never any good. To be avoided if possible.

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.

It is *MY* blog, yes. But, the only reason it really exists is because other people read it. If it was just for me to read, I could just use notepad. So, it's important to me that if a majority of the people don't like something or are always skipping something, that I find some way to make that content interesting or get rid of it.

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.

Post them if you want to post them — it's YOUR blog, not anyone else's.

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. =)

I just skipped them without reading as I saw them in twitteriffic anyway.

I don't like them myself, but never complain about others because, really, who gives a shit? It's your LJ/Blog, put what you want there. I'll read it or not read it.
