    So nice of you to clean up Dave Winer's wet dream so we don't have to. Fully agreed. We have a room now for normal conversations on F http://friendfeed.com/rooms/normal-conversation

    I think you meant "The web is a poetic visualization of our latent desires. Twitter's failure rate is exorbitantly disturbing. The process of cloning and the science behind it rends society asunder with its ethical quandries. At last a service has been bestowed unto us to facilitiate communications and non-telepathic exchanges."

    You also didn't include my reality-based response. I swear we are like magpies going from one shiny thing to the next and winding up with a nest full of junk.

    Oh, like you weren't over there the second it launched.

    Never said I wasn't :) in fact I have said in several places that I did indeed head over there to grab an account and make sure my username didn't get snagged because as snarky as my post might have been I think this one might have legs

    The open source will be the decider IMHO - what people do with it that is. I can see a lot of servers running something like it - or maybe some services that pop out of the code - I dunno but being open source anything is possible. But I think it is what sets it a part in many respects and why it might get there in some shape or form. As far as a micro blogging service, same same. I am playing the wait and see thing now.

    I am using FriendFeed a hell of a lot more. I hate Plurk - the interface is awful. twitter are yet to get their shit together... all bets are off for the moment I think.

    I'm thinking big picture here. It's almost a proof of concept. Like the first POP server at Urbana-Champange. A "wow look, it works... now you try", that's what excites me. I think this is the next, and inevitable, step in the evolution of microblogging as a communications tool.
