Hey, I link-whore in (on?) Twitter all the time. That’s part of the point. But, it’s at least good to put a title in your link whores and try to space it out rather than carpet bombing it. I put up with the carpet bombing from news update feeds like Google News and ZDNet - but I’d rather they spaced them out.

When it comes to all the Twitter cross-posting sites, things are not so good, as the above screenshot shows. Compare the dishola updates to Scoble’s “Qik Live Video” ones.

To that point, the video sites seem particularly rude when it comes to this. Dear developers of Twitter cross-posting crap: could we at least get some titles in there? blip.tv does this well enough. That’s really all I’m asking for, some additional text with that link whoring. Bare links suck.
