I dislike the casualness of the tone - it's on the verge of innocentese.
yesss, i was gonna say exactly that.

Anyway, the site itself is kind of cool, it's certainly not anything innovative or life-changing, it's just a good way of putting up music without the rush you can sometimes fall into when you're flinging youtubes up on facebook willy-nilly.

i totally ignored this is my jam as I assumed it was people's own music creations

i like thisismyjam but maybe it's for reasons of ludditism, i like the relatively personal and slow-moving nature it currently has, unlike facebook or twitter there's a sense of just sharing songs with your friends rather than being a drop of water of the vast wave of updates. at least until it gets popular and i find myself following 500 people and never bother to listen to anything any of them post.

It's a nice idea but ultimately I think it's yet another site I'll never go to the effort of navigating to.

We could have a "post a weekly YouTube link" thread on ILM.

Yeah, on second thought I think I'd rather just tell people what my jam is
― o s– man (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 20 April 2012 23:49 (twelve years ago) link
xp i think i like ilx for similar reasons, in that when i find something i love it's probably fairly easy to find an audience willing to give it a listen in some thread around here. but then most of my timjs have been located via ilm, so.
tho i do feel the need to resist making arthur russell my timj every time i listen to him.

what's this thing where people put a period before someone's twitter name?
― pleural eff u son (k3vin k.), Saturday, 21 April 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
When @username is put at the beginning of a tweet then that tweet only shows up in the timelines of people following the tweeter and the recipient. Putting a period in front is a way of getting around that to show everyone who follows the tweeter while also nudging the recipient.

if you just start with someone's twitter name the only people who'll see that are those who follow you both

It keeps asking me if I want to follow the Dalai Lama.
I think not, because I'd only tweet "Dalai Lama, Dalai Lama, Lama Lama, Dalai Dalai"
..and I would probably end up getting blocked.

Shit like this is why I dont use Twitter. I added one guy who fancies himself as a bit of a social meedja guru (blech) and he fuckin tweets like 15 times a day or more. Between that and people RTing shit everywhere (TMBG are terrible for it, Flansburg RTs more than he posts!), I got so confused ovcr what I was reading I just gave up.

Follow better people.
But don't unfollow max, he is the best.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
Following better people is one thing, unfollowing should be done regularly.

Also use an app where you can mute hastags or tweets from certain clients, eg 4sq, spotify, etc.

Yeah tbf the most ive ever done is read it via the website, it just doesnt interest me enough really. Not into soundbite blogging.
― Pureed Moods (Trayce), Wednesday, 9 May 2012 00:36 (twelve years ago) link
Also handy is to block retweets by certain ppl. So you can see their regular tweets, but none of their retweets.
