Paul Buchheit: Communicating with code

Hypothetically?? This can already happen! Check out identi.ca. It uses Laconica

which is "a Free and Open Source microblogging platform. It helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short (140 character) messages over the Web. Users can choose which people to "follow" and receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It provides a similar service to sites like Twitter, Jaiku, and Plurk."

I'm surprised no one has taken steps to avoid relying on Twitter.

Sure, I mean hypothetically in terms of actually displacing Twitters market dominance :)

I think if Twitter put a step wrong, or start to try and monetize users, we may see some changes :/
