I was waiting at the bar for anyone who wanted to put their 3G iPhone up against my LG Voyager. :P Not sayin it's better, just sayin it can definitely keep up with iPhone. *Dreaming of 4G LTE iPhone* - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I mean goodness, folks. it's open source version 0.4.1 identi.ca and @evan have both been up for nearly 24 hours with something like 3x the number of users expected in the first week. They're doing what looks like a planned or at least anticipated server change. The transparency is amazing. I think the IM stayed up through the change, but there have been DNS propagation issues.

I haven't been this swept up in the evangelical spirit since I went to church over 3 years ago. All praise Evan ;D - Richard Moriarty from twhirl

Same here @Richard Moriarty, spent the last hour or two replying to some of the people freaked out on summize. Even got some angry replies for my efforts: "'planned server change' in the midst of a huge announcement and thousands of anticipated sign ups??" Lady, I don't work there. Just doing my part as a user who can't code on an ~open source~ 0.x project ;-) - exador23

...yes twitter, i too am guilty of cheating on you last night with identi.ca and you can find evidence here. http://identi.ca/christinelu

Getting a hell of a lot of identi.ca notifications this afternoon. It's the shiny, but is it good?

I'm not overwhelmed with it myself as yet. - jjprojects

I see a lot of potential in it. The federation-style promises scalability. If the features come, it will be the strongest contender against Twitter thus far. - Richard Moriarty

Maybe so. I just found out you can download the source code and run it youself. That's powerful. - jjprojects

Over 6000 users now - not bad for day 2 of launch! - Susan Beebe

Lots of people check things out though, and then don't stay. - jjprojects

another player, too early to say and the open source nature throws in another complexity that might have different results - Dave Gray from twhirl

more eyes looking at the code has to be better. And it makes it far easier for people to add value to a project when the project is open and accessible to all. - Harry Myhre

There are so many microblogging/status platforms around now, I'm wondering how many can be sustained.

I don't think the idea is that so many will be sustained. I see it as a battle to see which will come out on top. The rest will die or be lowly regarded. - Richard Moriarty from twhirl

at first we were saying twitter was the one to beat - they were there first - had the community etc... but that was if they could scale which they have failed at - big time. Now I am thinking that FF might have the momentum and certainly what appears to be the stability, Now it is a question of community and I think that is building. - Dave Gray from twhirl

Whatever happes, it's clear that the whole micro enterprise is a winner, including multimedia too - image, video, sound etc - jjprojects

I know I'm hooked on a few, heh ;) - jjprojects

Open Source will change the game... can't wait for the identi.ca offshoots - Cait

Yeah, for sure. Some have been saying twitter should have gone down that route. - jjprojects

I don't think there are any winners at this point in time. IMHO I don't think that plurk has the legs - I think that ppl will get pissed off with it. Identi.ca - I think that the open source might see some interesting developments. FF - yup I think they have something... what are they going to do with it? twitter - still need to get their shit together before they loose everyone... I agree that the micro blog is great and has a future. What that is is anyone's guess at this point - Dave Gray from twhirl

Picture your RSS reader. Now mentally unsubscribe from all of your feeds except for one. Which one is left?

AT&T is running ads for myspace and facebook people promoting social networking on their network/phones. I shared this because I want the early folks to note how AT&T presents this. There is no assignment at this time. - Eric Rice

They'll be asking to set up a web-based acct of sorts with a text to your phone... you don't have to do it, but the questions up until the end are interesting, esp the avatar name selection process. - Eric Rice

It gets major points for presentation, but the mention of "cool offers" turns me off. What can I expect here? - Richard Moriarty from twhirl

Okay, the map is insanely cool... it's a type of social net that overlays on phones, any phone I think... How it's constructed is fascinating. - Eric Rice

I'm already experiencing the issue where none of the answers to a question are appropriate for me. - Richard Moriarty from twhirl

I'm posting a vid to screencast.com of the deeper DNA chart. It's kinda fun, heh. I'm on this DIY AI kick. WHAT IF, yo!? - Eric Rice

If ATT was a person, I would kick his ass. - Anthony

Funky site. Someone had the udder nerve to take my preferred name first. When do these questions end? The more I'm answering the more nervous I'm getting that AT&T is looking to clone me or recruit me into a cult. - Jim Stanger

AT&T now officially knows more about me than any other online service or L Ron Hubbard. Everything except a useful email address. ;-) - Jim Stanger

I can't help but feel it's a big demographic-info collector, yet I still feel compelled to use it - Richard Moriarty from twhirl

I don't mind as long as it's anonymous. Being part of an aggregate doesn't bother me. Feeling like I'm in the middle of Minority Report does. - Jim Stanger

Funny thing is they're asking a LOT of questions, but most of the answers they offer for you to choose assume you're younger. I don't know any kids that would answer more than 3-4 of these before getting bored, so....? - Jim Stanger

killer flash. amazingly cool user experience for a from basically - Alex C. Williams

I could have added to it all day, but went on to other stuff. Very game-ish ;) - Eric Rice

Loic, you gotta address the Seesmic-Phreadz drama because we are very bored and need some transparo-spherical-versation to occupy our time.

I missed this whole drama until I saw this post. I still can't quite bring myself to care, although I'd probably have an opinion if I felt like taking the time to track through the whole issue. - Daniel Andrlik

I hadn't really realized there was an issue, per se. Just an internet pissing match. - Richard Moriarty from twhirl

It's actually kinda important re: API/embedding etc, sans melodramatics. Still. - Eric Rice

Oh I get THAT part. But that could be as simple a fix as having a user embedding option (proper auth required to reply off site). Takes some coding, but honestly this is the kind of shit they should have been thinking about even before an "alpha" release. The drama shit on the other hand I have no time for. I don't care about either company personally, some one will get this shit right eventually and I'll use them. Maybe. - Daniel Andrlik

I love your new word there Eric. I'd like to buy a subscription to your newsletter. :D - Tad

Seesmic is one of those companies that could really have benefited from the old-school "design first, then code" approach to development. It really feels like they are slapping things together as they go and praying the community will keep it from sinking while they flounder. That being said, they've got the connections, and for now the community is with them, so they'll probably survive, and may even succeed. - Daniel Andrlik

Hey Eric, thanks for throwing oil on the fire as we say in French :) no pain no gain, we launch our products early, learn from our mistakes, and iterate. We will get our copyright shit right trust me, but I had to have the platform up first, otherwise why bother with copyright if you are down all the time? We're up and open, now UI and copyright. Thanks for caring, visit us again I would like to try your segway - Loic Le Meur

I offered Loic a way out... - Dennis Howlett from twhirl

This issue isn't even a Seesmic/Phreadz one at all... some of you who 'got' Second Life for so many years can appreciate the issue of the everyman and intellectual property and how it's brewing into something much bigger. This issue is a tiny blip in something way way bigger. - Eric Rice
