When reading it, I actually quite like the 'drowning in birdsong' aspect. It's a cacophony of my friends thoughts, but at times it resembles improvised jazz, and at others a fugue. Even at it's most anarchic, though, I enjoy it. If it's not your thing, I've no intention of trying to convince you that there's any merit to it.

I'll also sometimes follow threads - one person's thoughts, topics or hashtags. Following the hashtag for the Lib Dem conference last month, for example, brought near-instant reaction to conference events from many different points of view. I liked that.

As to what I write - it's mostly small or immediate stuff that I don't feel warrants an entire LJ post to itself. On a purely practical level, I find Twitter a lot easier to update from my phone than LJ is, so unlike LJ I update it when I'm out and about, and I prefer it as a format for liveblogging something. The language geek in me likes the challenge of expressing a thought in 140 characters; the bandwidth conservationist is a lot happier about posting something trivial on Twitter than on LJ.
