On this twitter / facebook reposting thing.

[redhillian]

Firstly, I'd rather people didn't repost stuff between my LJ and there - and there are some filters wherein the discussion is contained to that entry. If you're on those filters, you know about it and understand why.

Secondly, if you'd like remove the option to repost stuff from LJ, it is possible to partially do it through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) - the code to do so appears to be:

.b-repost-item, #repost_twitter, #repost_facebook{display:none;}

and the place to put it is in the Custom Stylesheet box at http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml?group=customcss.

(with noted thanks to a more experienced user I randomly met)

I see, I knew I'd checked something was disabled the other day and had assumed all this fuss was about that. I'll fix it on mine when I get home and can plug a computer into teh interwebs.

The other thing that was rolled out at the same time as this was 'Pingback', essentially that's LJ implementing the same thing a lot of other blogging stuff has, which is telling you and listing on a post when that post is linked to by others.

So, if I linked to one of your posts on my LJ, it would tell you. And (depending on settings) it would also tell you if Warren Ellis did the same on his non-LJ blog.
