Both of these services have over 2K stations in India. IMD doesnt seem to have more than 300 of them.

All of my impressions are based on my analysis and hence the mistakes! I am happy to hear that the licensing can be changed. A big relief.
Well, most of our clients would like to make the site skinnable. By default the fonts dont look as pleasing as either twitter or jaiku. I have tried it on Camino, firefox & Safari. I guess its a matter of opinion.
I was referring to the XMPP Pub-sub support. I am happy to be corrected.
I would love to go with laconi.ca. Could we take this offline? Is there an email id I can reach you at?
Thanks!

Thanks for a detailed response. A couple of quick questions
Is there any plan to support the twitter API for now so there is no need for an separate client? Is there a timeframe for support for XMPP & federation? They seem a while away.
To us federation is not as important as XMPP.
Also Are there any migration tools available? Just in case things don't pan out well.

Oops, didnt mean for it to be a con. The text box to type into was rather small and hence the typo.
I agree with you. We would pick python over php.
Jaiku or Laconi.ca?
Looking to use microblogging tool for a large scale instance. After spending a couple of days evaluating them I havent been able to figure out which one to use..Laconi.ca - Its PHP based. - Partial XMPP support Pros - Supported by a good number of clients include mobile - Supports OpenMicroBlogging (OMB) - API is similar to twitter's - federation support Cons - GNU...

Site has been taken offline for a refresh.. The old site will be online soon!
However playing with the site is not the ONLY way to research. Like the blog entry states there are other tools mentioned in the article that allow you to find out more about the site.
There has been enough written about taazza online.
