Dalton says a lot, but there's the sneaking suspicion that he wants to control the space. Personally, I'd be happier with:
- A charitable organisation handling the registration of names for multiple twitter like organisations. (Like DNS)
- Multiple providers (free, freemium, paid)
- Some way of routing messages to the correct provider.
- Some way of transferring messages between providers.
We managed this 25+ years ago with email. There's no reason it couldn't be done again.
- icebraining 14y agoAs thristian posted, this has already been done, and it's called OStatus. And you don't need a charitable organization running something like DNS; you can use DNS itself. The user ids just become like email, e.g. username@server.tld.
