I've often dreamed of a decentralized "Twitter" that allows you to subscribe to any Twitter, Facebook, or blogging feed and makes them all equal, first-class citizens (including the ability to reply/retweet/etc.)
aka FriendFeed/Google Buzz. Neither of which were at all successful or exist anymore.
The problem is that there is no incentive to use them as platforms. People just output their other primary sources through them, and then engage on their primary platform.
That makes them horrible for users (who write comments and never hear back).
