Seconded. Please don't abuse planet for this microbloging stuff.

2009-04-08 Thread Joerg Jaspert

 It appears that today either Luk himself or someone else added a Status 
 feed to planet.d.o with one-liner info messages about what Luk's up to.
 I did that.

Please not. Planet is not twitter/identi.ca/whateveronelinemessageservice. :)

 Luk: what do you think yourself?
 I think having a very limited amount of tweets from people that do not
 write long blog posts is ok, though if it's not appreciated I'll remove
 my feed.

Short blog posts are ok, but one-sentence status things like identi.ca
has, quite often with the same title and content are *IMO* pretty
annoying. While it's easy ignorable if only one does this, we do have
more than one feed on planet, and if everyone would do that, or only
half of them - uh no, planet would be pretty unreadable.


If someone thinks such a thing would be good to have on (or below)
planet.d.o, an aggregrator for such extra feeds could be made. But I'm
not sure that buys us anything, as those people can use those Debian
groups on those other platforms?

I basically agree with Frans. If Luc (or whoever) wants to send a
Twitteresque feed to Planet, I guess that feed could be auto-digested
- i.e. have an intermediary consuming all your one-liners and sending
them out once a day, probably timestamped. That way you won't have to
repeat your information in several formats and it will be available to
all Planet readers.

Doing this integration is (or rather, I think should be) almost
trivial... I don't have a Twitter account, but if your (Luc's or
whoever is interested) feed is public, I will happily provide the
digester, just ask :)

Umh... this does aggregate, right, but separates them. Personally, I

higher-frequency and lower-content feeds if I can avoid them - And I

Umh, you have a point there. Still, there are some conventions
(i.e. you told something to @someone) which can be worked around to
provide context. And if all the micro-sentences are timestamped, a
conversation might be +- followed. 

Still, it is a good point against what I suggested...

They are not meant as proper announcements as there should not be any
proper announcement on a blog (unless it's a copy of something on the
lists) IMHO.

 Although I don't use Twitter myself, I understand that's a service that

I don't use Twitter btw as that is closed and the company behind it
decides whatever it wants, I use an open variant called identi.ca

 people want to start a Debian twit service/channel/whatever, that's of

real blogging as I'm not up to writing long blog posts.

I think having a very limited amount of tweets from people that do not
write long blog posts is ok, though if it's not appreciated I'll remove

I ignored the initial dump due to the addition of the feed of course.
I'm mainly talking about the two you posted after you added the feed: 
19:51 and 19:53. If that's the kind of thing we can expect, I really

Planet would very soon become totally unreadable if everyone (or even just
