I have already been making a feed available for Twitter as rivkat_lj because some people asked, but that’s a feed of my entries only; I do the same for my pro blog; I don't get why people want notification of long blog entries via Twitter when RSS is available, but I also don't want to make it difficult for anyone who wants to read my stuff to do so. I'm actually trying the LJ implementation because in my experience twitterfeed, which I've been using, misses about one post in five.
I will never crosspost comments anywhere, and I don’t really get why you would in most cases, since my mental image of comments is things that participate in a particular conversation. But then I think that about a lot of tweets too. This latest LJ trick obviously increases various risks, though I think it increases them in direct proportion to the similarity of your LJ name to your Facebook name. As far as I’m aware, anything crossposted to Facebook will show up there as “comment on rivkat’s post” and not as “comment on legal name’s post,” so even if you have overlapping friend sets (as I do, a bit) it won’t be obvious to someone looking at your Facebook page that the two are the same. If I am wrong I will be very perturbed. Obviously it would make me sad if someone crossposted comments to one of my very few locked posts, and I could seriously do without the changes in the comment form. I installed the greasemonkey script and it seems to work, but my guess is that it will break eventually.
ETA: Okay, this just got bad. I got a pingback to an entry to which I don't have access. I don't like having talk behind my back shoved in my face, and I think it's silly to have pingbacks in those circumstances along with being invasive of the journaler's privacy. But that's not the bad part. The bad part is that a big chunk of the access-controlled entry was contained in the pingback. Which, if I unscreened it, would be visible to everyone (since the post at issue is public). Not on, LJ. Not on. Has anyone else seen this? I thought the pingbacks only had post titles.
I have DW invites if anyone wants.
In other news: For some reason the button on my library access authentication page that says SUBMIT reads as very sexual to me. Possibly I’m just strange.
