Why I Don’t Use Packrati.us
text 15:16:00
(If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s a tool for automatically posting links on Twitter to delicious.)
- It links your feeds
- It uses via: to indicate service posting when I use it to attribute
- Twitter is private, delicious is broadcast
- Twitter is for nonsense, delicious is serious
- I could get around those if it posted private then let me share; it doesn’t
- I can’t quote meaningfully in only 120 characters
- It posts the short link text in the description, which is redundant and ugly
- For posts from favourites, there’s even more ugly description text
Still, I suppose if it works for you, knock yourself out.
