TWiT Army
Leo Laporte has launched an instance of Laconi.ca, the open source microblogging platform that powers Identi.ca. Given that Leo has 53,810 followers on Twitter at the moment, the TWiT Army could have a pretty significant impact on the microblogging landscape.
Simple Microblogging Transport Protocol
If you’re reading this post, then you’re probably familiar with Twitter, FriendFeed, Plurk, Identi.ca, Pownce, Jaiku, Kwippy, and perhaps three or four other “microblogging platforms”. I apply the term somewhat loosely here. One reason for that is I don’t exactly know what it’s supposed to mean. Another is that many would argue these services can’t all be lumped into the same category because Twitter is in no way like FriendFeed, or that one of the others doesn’t deserve to be on the list, or that Jaiku is dead, or that we’re all on crack. I’m not here to argue those points.
