Over on FriendFeed Louis Gray mentioned that his Twitterank is #1, and his Tweetvalue is $1034. My Tweetvalue is $241, and I couldn't really care less what my Twitterank is, as it seems they're just making this stuff up. Here's how twitterank relates to tweetvalue for the top 50. I think I'm going to have to assign a value of $0 to Twitterank and a rank of last to Tweetvalue.
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.

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.

I’m not here to argue those points.

Please forgive me for the re-post, and the slight license taken in the translation. Read the rest of this entry »
