Not a fan of sites that x-post updates AND twitter feeds. Hard enough to keep up with RSS.

Contests? Good. Site updates w/o content? Good.

Ahhh ya lost me on the Twit er.

It’s a banal and ignorant place to be. More a flame game than the old yahoo chat rooms. Really alex, please reconsider. Twitter is for twats.

I think neatorama is best in its current format. I am always eager to look at the latest posts every day, or a few times a day. That said, I don’t want to have to look in two places. Please don’t post exclusives on twitter. I can see how a time dependent contest would be well served by twitter, but other than that, I don’t see much of a point.

To be fair, I dislike twitter very much. I’m all for technological progress, being 22 and all, but there are various things about twitter that rub me the wrong way.

I’m leaning toward Twitter-only content – it doesn’t make much sense to me just to run the feed through Twitter, though that has been the way it was set-up before we got the account officially.

I think a combo of Twitter-only content and Neatorama exclusives/particularly good posts is the way to go.

You already have a website, why do you need a Twitter feed?

if your Twitter feed is just the same as the site, I’ll stick with the site. If there is something more on Twitter – comments, links that didn’t quite make it, etc., I’ll be all over it.

Nice interview, and I love the origin story of the name, Neatorama. The mention of guest bloggers who have come and gone made me think: “Alas, poor Yayo. I knew him well.”

So putting the account into into a shoebox, filling the box up with cement, and then tossing the boat anchor into the ocean is not one of the options?

I like the idea of twitter-only mini posts. A person can get a list of the latest posts using a blog reader.
