I just figured out (at least a large part of) what I find annoying about twitterings reposted to Livejournal and Dreamwidth: I'm getting a mix of short things that might be complete in themselves, or might be the start of a conversation, and responses to things I never saw. Tweets aren't long enough to provide context, the way I try to with my "save comments" posts, so in between the possibly ephemeral but coherent ("I hate February" or "Dim sum anyone? HSF, noon.") are things like "Mike, sorry I can't make it" and "That sucks." And I have no idea who Mike is, let alone what the poster won't be doing, or what it is that my friend is agreeing sucks.

ETA: some explanation, this is a site arguing (and I agree) that we don't have to dump all our social streams into one another.
