"First everyone was going to leave Twitter for Jaiku. Then everyone was going to leave Twitter for Pownce. Then everyone was going to leave Twitter for Plurk. Then everyone was going to leave Twitter for FriendFeed. There's just one problem. Everyone is still on Twitter." - tech.newsjunk.com
VentureBeat uses disqus for comments. I would like to have the comments from the VB article (I just posted one myself) readable here on FF and any comments posted here, be visible there. In other words, I would like Disqus and FF to federate. I wonder if Daniel and the FF guys have had any conversations about this? Federation is the word of the day, imho. And VentureBeat is great, but imho this piece is BS. - Dave Winer
We would like that as well Dave. I'll respond to your comment shortly. - MG Siegler
As we all predicted, the conversation will further fragment with every new service that exploits weaknesses of prevalent competitors. We'll just have to keep up with it all, until we no longer have to. - Brian Solis
Twitter clones seem to be weekly fads for all of us twitter refugees, but the big T continues to be a fallback for everyone. Perhaps twitter will be magically fixed someday and everyone will be happy... - Patrick via twhirl
What's BS is (as I said in comments on VB) is that anyone knows the outcome of all this michegas. It's true there are more users on Twitter. But Twitter itself is so unpredictable and new things that shake up the configuration of reality seem to come EVERY DAY these days, the one certainty is total uncertainty. And that imho is a good thing. Like I said I'm impressed with VB, with a name like that it could be about deals and politics, but it's mostly very practical and interesting. - Dave Winer
@dave and I responded in the comments over there. you and I see eye to eye on much of this more than you realize. i would direct you to more than just the piece that I did, but there are literally dozens. feel free to check my back posts :) ..... and yes, we realize the name issue, stay tuned. - MG Siegler
