And the reason µ looks very much like Twitter is because I use a Twitter-like clone to construct my posts. I just use a script to pull things from it to my journal (much like your Twitter feed incorporated into yours). It's just, my writing style is (or at least it used to be) to construct entire entries from thoughts that could be expressed in single lines. This whole Twitter-like experience is a regression, where I'm forced to mush reasonably complete ideas to fit in under 140 characters.

Looks like, with the use of your micro journal, you're posting more often, anyway, even if it is just a sentence or two here and there. It looks nearly like Twitter, but without the community aspect of it. It’s never fun being awoken by someone else’s, ah, domestic issues, no matter what they sound like.
