An open-source approach to tracking stolen laptops
,----[ Quote ]
| My sense is that this software isn't for everyone and that it would require
| more knowledge of technology than the average laptop owner. But for those who
| have the requisite understanding, it might provide some comfort to know that
| they can turn to open-source software that doesn't require going through
| anyone else's servers.
|
| Plus, you get the benefit of being protected by a Roman goddess. And when is
| that not a good thing?

identi.ca creator Evan Prodromou explains why he's taking on Twitter (video)
,----[ Quote ]
| Bzzz.... bzzz...... bzzz...... That's not the sound of bees. It's the buzz
| surrounding new, open source Twitter competitor identi.ca. Creator Evan
| Prodromou sat down at OSCON in front of Linux.com's video camera and
| explained what identi.ca is all about and why it's suddenly such a hot item
| that he's been meeting with multiple venture capitalists -- and can be
| cavalier enough about those meetings that he canceled one to work on some
| code bugs that were bothering him instead.

Laconica: Can Open Source Save Twitter?
,----[ Quote ]
| Lots of people are addicted to microblogging service Twitter - including
| substantial chunks of some open source communities. There are a fair number
| of Ruby on Rails developers twittering these days, for example. But Twitter's
| scaling and reliability issues lately have many people wondering whether it's
| time to look for an alternative. Identi.ca, backed by open source package
| Laconica, wants to be that alternative.

Could An Open Source "Twittersphere" Save Twitter? Or Kill It?
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Twitter too important to be left in the hands of Twitter? That's the
| argument that bubbled up over the weekend. The argument is that Twitter is
| not distributed. This means that if Twitter goes down no one can Twitter. It
| also means if Twitter goes out of business, or just screws up, we could lose
| all of our tweet history.
