This question was vaguely inspired by the new LJ account on... Facebook, where they seem to be asking people about such issues. I'm actually kind of surprised that there wasn't an official page already.

I don't like LoudTwitter for two reasons :
* the digest form makes things weird : I would be ok with reading a tweet that someone had just had the most awesome burger, seeing it on DeeWee/LJ, without more context added, is strange
* I tend to consider that the things posted on Twitter are very different from the things posted on DeeWee/LJ, mainly in terms of context, but also sometimes of content.

As I have a Twitter account, I fairly happy to keep Twitter stuff on Twitter, and I implemented something that gets rid of the LoudTwitter output on my reading list/f-list.
