Unfortunately, the link to the code is 404, so it's a bit hard to evaluate from an open source point of view. The OMB spec (Evan from identi.ca wrote the first version) would benefit from other implementations, so it would be great if Jisko did use it. I'd be surprised though. - Michael C. Harris

I'm waiting for ONE, just ONE Twitter clone to realize there are languages other than PHP. I hold no hope that it will actually occur, however. - Cyndy

Cyndy, don't worry, it will happen. - Michael C. Harris

What we need is a microblogging benchmark... if your platform can load 2 million users and handle 10 statuses per second then talk to me. Until then, why repeat the folly of Twitter? - Jason Carreira

It would also be nice if they explained exactly how they were going to pay for all those servers, the bandwidth and the ruinously expensive SMS support. - Adewale Oshineye

@Adelwale, but... but.... It's open source! ;) - Jason Carreira

@adewale if it is that expensive, make SMS paid part of service ;) - A.T.

Servers and bandwidth aren't free either, so.... - Jason Carreira

There's also the assumption that the people who are going to look after the system 24/7/365 are also going to be working for free. Despite my criticisms I actually believe that every time one of these Twitter clones pop up they validate Twitter as a tool and we get ever closer to a viable product emerging. - Adewale Oshineye
