friends - please keep being wordy
Apr. 1st, 2009 01:35 pmfrom the latest lj update notice thingie:
"One of the most common complaints we get is that even your best friends don't do you the courtesy of using the lj-cut on long entries. We consulted with a cutting-edge market research firm and concluded that no one really wants to read more than 140 characters about what their friends are doing. And with our new automatic lj-cut, you won't have to! From now on, all those wordy entries on your Friends Page will automatically be cut at the 140-character sweet spot."
now, the 140-character thing tends to make me suspect twitter is funding the research (i mean seriously - _exactly_ 140 characters?) - and people, if i wanted to communicate with the world via twittering, i would do so. i'm an old-fashioned sort of girl, and i think my friends have a little more depth than what can be expressed in 140 characters. so feel free to chatter on - i will read every word.
and i'll talk as long as i like, so there.
