   And ... here I am! I wonder if identi.ca will auto-correct people when they misspell the word "colour"? :)

     @drfyzziks - if you all up there north of the border would just spell "color" the way we do here, there would be no issue! :-)

     @danyork, i don't see the joy in identi.ca. how's it different from twitter?

     @danyork Lol. Some Australians I know will back me up on the whole "colour" thing. I think you know them... ;)

     @evanwolf identica is immaterial, even their supplier; it is proof that each of us can be running our own twitter and still realize Twitter

     @evanwolf - Similar to what @aswath said, identi.ca is just a building block, showing that options are out to make a new Twitter.

     @aswath identi.ca's not doing it for me.... Nothing quite matches Twitter (other than the uptime and func being enabled of everything else)

     @gianouts that may be true today; but you can't discount the implications of autonomous "twitter" ...

     @gianouts back to Internet's roots - there is no need for a middle

     @aswath Will see how this pans out. Hmmm reminds me, I should have a look back at Plurk and see what's going on.

     @aswath because going email to SMS, you lose available SMS characters. Same with going the other way.

     @phoneboy It looks like I lose 4 chars while sending email to SMS. For me it is worth avoiding SMS gateway

   • Dameon D. Welch-Abernathy Aswath Rao

     @aswath it's worse going the other way. Depends on how much crap your carrier ads to the message (AT&T ads a lot).

     @evanwolf We're looking for higher reliability, I suspect, and that alone would distinguish identi.ca from Twitter.

     @evanwolf 1. no FailWhale 2. it's open microblogging, not a proprietary platform 3. it has exponential growth potential into other platforms

     @evanwolf @evan- the difference from twitter is manifesto, attitude, open standards perhaps - needs fast-growing ecosystem to stand a chance
