Jason, that just won't happen - identi.ca may crash, but as it grows, multiple sites will be built on the same system, sharing the same data. The data will be distributed, therefore it will be much harder to take down. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
That's so ludicrous it's hard to describe. First of all, the identi.ca code is designed to keep 2 nodes in sync.... Yeah, sounds like a great distributed system. Second of all, you'd have to re-create your account on a different node after identi.ca crashes. Third, a distributed Twitter would quickly become USENET 2, and become a spammers paradise.

yup, sounds like a good old fashioned windows vs Linux debate :) - Bwana McCall via fftogo
