Thank you.

I have my Facebook status automatically update whenever I tweet. I think it only fair to spread the social networking muck evenly.

I think I've just had an epiphany and realized what Twitter actually is - it was never meant to be like Livejournal, it and the updates on Facebook are like a slow universal chatroom where you can pick and choose the lines you hear and respond to. If I had one, no doubt it would get all the little work-related thoughts that Gwerdy Chat tends to get from me at random just now.

So it has a place, but bundling it all up at the end of the day and spewing a now-meaningless set of half-conversations among actual, real... updates, is not it!

Think of it as Web 2.0 stream-of-consciousness.
