We could really use a great open source Twitter client
Nitpicking a little, but he probably doesn't mean "client" here. And I think the need for an open source, distributed Facebook is greater than for Twitter, considering the relative amounts of influence and information the two services wield.

- apgwoz 16y agoActually, he clarifies in the comments that he really does mean a "client" and not Status.net (what Laconica is called these days). But, there are definitely quite a few out there. Gwibber, Spaz, Canary, etc, etc.
