I don't get people who complain about live event volume, either, it's really easy to control that sort of thing if you want to, although a second "live event" account may be in order if it's bothering people THAT much.

I, for one, appreciate the "live tweeting" from events that I can't make in person (although as Dr. T pointed out--the tweets from a mtg a few weeks back was a bit on the heavy side). I find a lot of cycling-related news put up across Twitter to be relevant and timely--so getting wider dissemination across multiple channels to as wide an audience as possible (i.e., on Twitter itself, the feed on Streetsblog, etc.) is a good thing. FYI--Here's an event that could use some support from local cyclists, albeit on late notice: tonight (Tuesday) at 7:00 the Mid City West Community Council will be hearing/discussing their formal comments to the draft LA Bike Plan. The more cyclists that show up and offer up support, the more robust the comments can be. (They will also be discussing their plans for Park(ing) Day LA if anyone wants to participate in that, too.) You can find their calendar/location here: http://www.midcitywest.org/ Thanks, Damien.
