GNUSocial (eg Quitter.se) and Pumpio (eg Identi.ca*) are functional replacements with thriving communities.

  Those are too social network orientated for what I wanted. I appreciate they do model themselves after Twitter, but for me the appeal of Twitter is that it can also be read anonymously - like a pretty RSS feed or Growl service - if that's all you want to take away from it.

    With GNU social (founder here) you can do that too. You can even subscribe to people on Twitter, post to Twitter and still get ATOM, RSS and FoaF out on your end. See https://mattl.io/replies https://mattl.io/replies for a more traditional view.

      Thank you. I'll give that a try the next time I have time to tinker. :)
