Let's make Distributed Twitter!

Bre and I spent quite awhile talking about how to make an open-source, open-format distributed microblogging service. We plotted and schemed, designed and mocked, and then discovered a bunch of people already talking about it. It looks like the way to go is with Jabber, since that’s already what Twitter and Jaiku use. The next step is to organize a project and to get coding. We’re hoping to put together a camp where we can get the project off the ground. Stay tuned.
