Can I not just rely on one service to replicate my posts across all these other services using some sorta extensible open api ? Twitter being the biggest whale in this ocean atm would ideally be the primary source of sorts but so lacks in other areas of the social graph ! Looking for a friendfeed in reverse I guess ? Scratch that invert it grrrr how frustrating ! love FF shame it makes regular folk run away in fear brains a melting :) - David Smith

in light of finding a home that is the be all and end all I will take ping.fm thx Hao . . . frak it . . gotta Beta code anyone ? - David Smith

David: pingadactyl - Duncan Riley

Thanks Duncan I'm in :) cheers ! - David Smith

@David coz a lot of us have different audiences on each service. eg. I am invested in FF and twitter and pownce, in that order and just cross post to jaiku. - Shivanand Velmurugan

Was very impressed with the 'new' Twirl - Using it since Loic posted it last night. Giving this a spin now .... - Charlie Anzman

I particularly dig the Posty screenshot. - Louis Gray

I thought you would Louis :-) Apol for not linking to you, I'd already written the post and screenshots are the last thing I do pre-publication. - Duncan Riley

No problem at all, Duncan. I didn't link to you because my story went first. :-) - Louis Gray

LOL @ Louis - of course you like I like - what's not to like?! :*) I like it! - Susan Beebe

Louis, by a matter of minutes....I'll have to be quicker next time ;-) - Duncan Riley

This is good...I have been a Twitter user for the past couple of months or so. I waiting to see how this will pan out...but from side whatever works is good enough. - Suhit Anantula

@louis actually mine went first - posty got a mention at the bottom. ;) ha ha @duncan thanks for the link :) - Sarah Perez

Sarah, saw yours first + linked. - Duncan Riley

some awfully good GM scripts for Identi.ca .. thanks for that :) !!! - johnpiercy

I really don't care, - sarahintampa.com is not a business :) - just poking fun @louis - Sarah Perez

still, good job in picking up on Posty plus the changes. - Duncan Riley

Oh yeah, Sarah, my Tweet was 11 hours ago, so I totally beat you. http://twitter.com/louisgr... :-) - Louis Gray

Well, I received my email from Cesare over 11 hrs ago and had already composed the blog post in my brain, so technically.... - Sarah Perez

OK I have to stop now, going to fall out of my chair laughing :) - Sarah Perez

yeah, but you both didn't find Identifox, so there :-p - Duncan Riley

well, actually....a friend on identica told me about it (http://identi.ca/notice/128192) and I updated my post with that news :) lol - Sarah Perez

@Sarah: you're welcome :) but don't click that link now...looks like identi.ca is down... - Trent Olson

@David Smith, the whole point of openmicroblogging is to do that kind of federated network for you. So, YES, but we have to get the other services to sign on. - Evan Prodromou

ping.fm FTW! - Ernie Oporto

Seriously though, it seems like identi.ca is just copying everything twitted does with a huge lag. Anything new could have easily been tacked onto twitter as others have done, instead of going to the trouble of creating a whole new posting service to fracture the community. It may have uptime going for it but that is only good while they are small. Will they scale any better? - Ernie Oporto

Ok. Let's start an auction! How much do you bid to receive the notification of the new version Posty TEN minutes before the rest of the group? Place you bid ;) - funkyboy from Posty
