Useful thoughts.

I’ve recently been experimenting with the ‘Cover It Live’ liveblogging tool as a means of keeping my conference notes from flooding my Twitter stream (and acting as a useful permanent archive of the event too). Otherwise, I find myself holding back on Twitter. If I’m taking notes I want the freedom to be *really* firehose-y.

Looking forward to hearing more about the mention of current cost and @andy_house at the Web 2.0 expo! (See? Twittering conference titbits has its uses).

I see that rule broken with auto tweets about blog posts and so on as well as things like delicious auto postings to blogs.

I think as you reach a threshold of people you are following, you really only want “real” information from them rather than things you could have found out from other feed sources.

but I think in the end, if people have to unsubscribe because of that, it could more be the fault of the system they are using than the service, as it would be nice to be able to auto filter out “automatic” posts and even things with a hashtag as appropriate to keep the signal to noise ratio down.

Andy, you’re by no means too heavy in general. I do a lot of the louder twitterers via RSS. If I see the feeds getting light, I refollow.

Can I add a general plug for @tencommandments ?
