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.
