http://identi.ca/hex . This thread works well with the little colorful balloons FF shows for comments by your friends! - Earle Martin

It's worse than the FailWhale now - LouCypher

Yep. Artifact of the server switchover early Wed morning; it took a lot longer than I anticipated for DNS to propagate out. (If I had any idea of the potential popularity, I would have cranked down the TTL to 5 min before launching, not after!). Now, hewitt redirects to identi.ca again, so nobody should see this URL any more. - Evan Prodromou

So, I absolutely agree that it would have been nice to have some more features and be better ready for the big onslaught than I was. But, all things considered, I'm pretty happy with how things went. The site went live, got on RWW, TechCrunch, Mashable, and Slashdot, got enthusiastic support from Dave Winer and Doc Searls, and shot to 10,000 users in 36 hours. If it wasn't @replies that were missing, it was going to be some other feature, and you just don't know which it's going to be before launch. Anyways: I appreciate your open opinion about this, and I hope that I'll be able to "fill in the gaps" on features and bugs as I've done on servers and scaling. - Evan Prodromou

In today’s world, time is a luxury you don't have. Release your product too early, it’s featureless or users don’t understand it, they won’t come back. Release too late, and someone else has surely beat you to the punch. Being a web developer, I understand that it’s okay to release something that is not perfect. You want to release something that is just good enough. - Hao Chen via Bookmarklet

Um first time I tried to go, website didn't come up. - Brian Carter

it's really slow, not the best first 5min experience with a product, Open Source is the key here, hope it rolls out well - Dobromir Hadzhiev

federation is the key - Tyler

I like the federation idea... - Czar Derek Peterman

The advantage of this is that it supports identi.ca and other microblogging services that allow the user to subscribe to a person's microblogging messages via RSS. - possible248

"indenti KAAAA" or "identik-uh" This is important. - Andy Roberts

imho, *in-dent-a-ka* - Czar Derek Peterman

I'm so easy to troll, but: PLEASE don't call it "indentica". - Evan Prodromou

Eye *den* tick a'. - Earle Martin

italian speakers pronounce ee-den-tick-a. sort of common adjective (fem.) - Opensource Obscure

Identi.ca instability? - Adam Helweh via Bookmarklet

Yes. update@identi.ca is a daemon written in PHP using an alpha-level XMPP library and a platform (Laconica) less than a month old. I'm looking forward to the day when it stays operational for more than 24 hours. - Evan Prodromou

the link on the post being my identi.ca RSS feed URL - Topbit

error, "We could not download the given page". http://feedvalidator.org/check..., "Undefined item element: cc:licence" I don't know... - Czar Derek Peterman

I don't have any problems with it http://friendfeed.com/loucyphe... - LouCypher

yep, just tried it seems to work now - Freemor

looks like this issue has been resolved.. finally added without issue. - Jerry Schuman

greeeat stuff! - "i can't get to the conversation" - yep. - jeneane sessum

I think @scobleizer's point about Twitter was how well it interfaces with FF and while not a conversation facilitator, it is a conversation starter that can be carried on over here on FF. I don't really think you'll be leaving Twitter. My hope is that we can get all of these services interoperating and stable. Twitter has an established community and I think that was also @scobleizer point. - James

@Tatenda I still see potential in Twitter now. I'm not denying that I'll be back there if and once it gets it together. Until then, it's just kind of moot for me since the conversation is inaccessible on my end. - Corvida

It will be up and running but by then everybody would have been gone - Gordon Swaby

I'm still over at twitter more often than on FF for conversations and quick updates, and think that the simplicity gives it a lot of traction - Bill Thompson via twhirl

I feel like I should hurry to get my userid on identi.ca to avoid someone else getting it. - wrecks

Give us time! This was a big traffic day, we're just scaling up. - Evan Prodromou

Evan, what kind of hardware platform is below the surface? Did you know there is a great offering from SUN Microsystems for Web2.0 startups...? - Ansgar Wollnik

Running the numbers: 4300+ new users in last 12 hours, 9400+ posts in the same time period. http://identi.ca/notice/9569 - Mona N

All your posts on Twitter get posted around without your permission anyways. At least this way, you get a say in the matter. The real reason: I believe in Open Services, and they require Open Data. See http://opendefinition.org/osd - Evan Prodromou

Waiting for documentation on http://laconi.ca/ - Hao Chen

Yes. - Evan Prodromou

http://laconi.ca/ fails for me, but http://laconi.ca/Main/HomePage works :) - Ross Jones

It redirects me to http://greyowl.controlezvous.c... - LouCypher

Suppose you have an account on server A and you want to follow somebody who created an account on server B. You can subscribe to the remote user, and your server (A) will contact server B to set up a remote sub. After that when the user on server B posts an item, it's also posted back to your server. Sync/decentralization is handled on a user-by-user basis. - Ken Sheppardson

Damn! I was just going to sign up with the username "Alan Le"! - Adam Helweh

Yup - if it should take off you want to make sure you've got your bases covered ;) - Colin Walker

It's not just another Twitter wannabe -- it's a THOUSAND Twitter wannabes! - Evan Prodromou

Wrong, it does send an email "Alan Wood (folknology) is now listening to your notices on Identi.ca." - Andy Roberts

And there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. Arrrrgh! - Dave Winer

oh, duh. can someone pls email me a gmail invite - Hao Chen

oops, read that as, "you should get an email address." - Hao Chen

My Gmail notifies:) - Igor Poltavskiy

You have to add the bot to your list first, and then input your jabber id. In that order. - Bwana McCall

Actually, I did it in the other order, and it worked for me! - Benjamin Kudria

Bingo, thanks Bwana. - Glenn Slaven

You have to add it to your list FIRST for GTalk. All other Jabber servers are fine in either order. - Evan Prodromou

Can you please tell me? - directeur via NoiseRiver

Well, I think quantum mechanics says no. ;-) Or do you mean does the administrator of one instance have a view of all other instances? - Ken Sheppardson

No. The only messages that move between A and B are those between users who subscribe to each other. They don't bounce over to C and X and Z. - Evan Prodromou

Evan is the author of identica guys - Bwana McCall

Evan: Thanks for the feedback. Tell me please: What if "A" is down? How can we "broadcast" the same message for say 20.000 followers over say 5000 nodes? - directeur via NoiseRiver

That sounds pretty hypocritical, doesn't it? There's the whole eat-your-dogfood thing, and I'm not going to crap on other peoples' services right on their own sites. Please! If you'd like to talk to me, @evan on identi.ca. - Evan Prodromou

Sorry, Evan. I'll take my questions over there. Wasn't expecting you to "crap on" anything. Just thought you and yours might be using more than one service. - Ken Sheppardson
