Russell is bang on, microblogging should be based on a queuing system and not whatever it is now. Hindsight is 20/20 of course, no one thought Twitter or microblogging would take off like this.
The lesson from Twitter is that microblogs aren’t Content Management Systems at all, but are instead Messaging systems, and have to be […]
The day after Canada Day and we have a new, and potentially exciting, microblogging service to play around with. Identi.ca might seem like “just another Twitter clone”, but I think they are really onto something here.
Corvida, Sarah Perez, and Marshall Kirkpatrick all have it right on target. Sure, it’s early days and Identi.ca doesn’t have […]
Ah Twitter. The blogerati are raising their glasses to you in homage of your passing. FriendFeed is standing in the corner being polite, warm, and charming. At the bar, people are shaking their heads, talking about going to FriendFeed’s place after the wake…
Hold on a second here. I’m not seeing a huge decline in Tweets, […]

Tim Walker and I were chatting on Twitter this morning about Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce. It started with my question: “How many folks here also update Pownce and Jaiku? Both have fallen off my radar, eventhough both have more features.”
Sure I could update both Pownce and Jaiku through Twhirl, but why? I don’t go there […]
Marshall Kirkpatrick and I were chatting tonight and he mentioned the new WP theme called “Prologue” that has some very Twitter-like features.
