Or look into alternatives in the microblogging space. What ever happened to Status.net/ostatus?

  But the problem with alternatives is the fact that they're alternatives. Not what other people are using. If it's a social app, it's important.

    I dug a little deeper, and ostatus is a currently working group committee within the w3c. If I was the cio at oh, say an org in the public realm (generic government agency for example), I'd rather have control over the publishing and namespace of its tweet-like messages rather than putting every egg into the single-basket solution. Who knows if twitter will be around 20 years from now? The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

  They started pump.io instead. Which is a much more low-level project than StatusNet. Trying to build a federation-server that other people can make services on top of. Trying to win a market that way. If only one popular site starts to use it, -- you might be getting some network effect out of it. I think it was a better level to work on. Let others help with the network.
