Dave winer needs to build his open source Twitter thing already. He's capable of it and can get the press. He mentions it everyday but hasn't done it. Dave, just fucking do it.
- dasht 16y agoDon't tell Dave to just fucking do anything. You're violating his "I only hear people who speak to me in certain tones" policy. You're harshing his mellow, man.
- jrockway 16y agoBut he already invented blogging once!
- wyclif 16y agoThen he "invented" RSS.
- GavinB 16y agoThey're already out there. I use this one: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
- jimboyoungblood 16y agoThe world has more than enough Twitter clients already. What would be a lot more interesting is an open source Twitter server.
- martey 16y agoWhat about http://status.net/ http://status.net/ ?
- jimboyoungblood 16y agoThey're on the right track, but they need to make it 100% compatible with the Twitter API, not just 95%. Client developers must be able to simply replace "twitter.com" with some other endpoint and have everything work. This would allow all the client developers (who now suddenly find themselves competing with Twitter Inc) to immediately rally their users to a new social graph.
