Comments on: How and Why I Added Daily “Microposts from Twitter” Posts http://www.tinyscreenfuls.com/2008/02/how-and-why-i-added-daily-microposts-from-twitter-digest-posts/ Huge iPhone and web geek.

I have just been toying with this whole issue for my blog. What I would like is a weekly digest which I can edit before publishing (to make it just the fun/interesting/funny tweets and not the dross!) and this way I can decide against posting if I think its not appropriate. I think there is some value in sharing tweets but I also gather that these posts can be irritating to some. My recent blog post goes into it a bit. Any advice or suggestions for a wordpress.com user would be much apreciated! Hey interesting reading! I have just been toying with this whole issue for my blog.

I think there is some value in sharing tweets but I also gather that these posts can be irritating to some. My recent blog post goes into it a bit.

Any advice or suggestions for a wordpress.com user would be much apreciated!

Unfortunately, as a Livejournal subscriber, I'm considered to be too low-tech to put together anything like what you have implemented. Even using Google Analytics is considered too risky - depends on embedded JavaScript which is disallowed. One of the things that Twitter has provided me is a clearer indication of who cares about what I write, which is missing from my blog. A good solution, Josh!

I might just do that. :-) And the GMT thing is bugging me, but there's got to be a way to change/hack that in the source. I'll have a poke around (and yes, it would be better to get a fix or a workaround that doesn't involve hacking the source file). @ThomasHan you’re very welcome! :-)
