A lot of junk/redundant threads would be created if I tried to automate this. There would be redundant threads for every blog post because those are automatically posted to Twitter, and there would be threads created whenever I replied to someone on Twitter too. So automating this wouldn't work well.
Most of the stuff I post to Twitter probably isn't discussion worthy. Twitter updates are only 140 characters max. People can already post replies to those status updates on Twitter or Facebook, so the mechanism is there for those who care to use it. I think adding a place to discuss those updates here would be overkill.
I appreciate the idea. I just can't see it working well in practice. Anyone can create a new thread here to discuss something from Twitter or Facebook though. |
Some people have little twitter rss feeders on the site of there site with little comment boxes like facebook.. maybe something like this?
