   Dumb idea I'm throwing out: a nodejs system that proxies various activity/microblogging services, modifying/normalizing data in and out

     @funkatron Kind of like what FriendFeed was, but bidirectional?

     @kichigai and locally installable. You could run it on your laptop or any place else you can run node.js

     @funkatron seems like ping.fm started down that path and stopped.

     @claylo right. what I envision is a locally installable utility server to do this kind of thing. extensible with a plugin system, etc

     @funkatron @claylo I was thinking Gnip/Superfeedr but open self hosted/open source makes it more interesting.

     @funkatron I like this idea... moving off Twitter would be nice due to their policies, but I'd be missing out of stuff over there.

     @funkatron I may not really know anything about nodejs (other than what it is), but I'd try to test / develop.

     @funkatron @claylo sounds good. I'm generally free more on the weekend but I'm sure I can find something during the week.
