Should they stay or should they go?

[Poll #1119608]

So, a lot of my recent entries have been from twitter, and I've posted to the Journal less, perhaps as a result of having twitter as an option. There may be other reasons, including getting settled in the new job, house, schedule, etc.

I looked at my page recently and saw how much of it was twitter and wondered if it was redundant. Should I bridge the two, or use them separately? I know that I don't follow both if someone is, for instance, mirroring every post to a blog and LJ. Maybe Twitter is the same way.

I may not make any change, or I may not take the advice of collective wisdom, but I'm wondering what people think.

ETA: I found a new feature in the UI, which lets me turn off response (@SoAndSo) tweets being logged. If that changes your opinion, please feel free to change your vote.

Its really your choice. I generally don't read the LoudTwitter entries, however, I can see the value of you broadcasting to that (so they can be more easily archived together with your journal).

This right here is exactly how I feel about any questions of, "What should I post to my blog/LJ/Twitter?" I post what I want to my LJ. I figure it's mostly for my own entertainment value. And I figure my friends are all big kids who have the freedom to decide for themselves if they want to read it. In my opinion, my only responsibility in what I post is to be mindful of the way the friends list thing works, and to put extra-long posts or high-bandwidth images, etc., behind a cut. Even then, if someone doesn't like my posting style, they are more than welcome to remove me from their friends list, or even just from their default reading filter, if they don't like what I do.

I see this whole LJ/blogging thing as having pull filters, not push filters, personally.
