Twitter Works - Sometimes

beineri's picture

I started to publish on Twitter some days ago to not stay completely silent about the good stuff that is happening with KDE/openSUSE. Most of the time my posts even appear on other people's pages and in Twitter Search. According to the "Find People" function I don't exist though.

Identi.ca / Laconi.ca

With Twitter being on and off etc., why not use Identi.ca (or any other Laconi.ca provider)?

AFAIK it's very easy to just tell your Identi.ca/Laconi.ca account to forward all of your posts etc. to Twitter as well.

Identi.ca / Laconi.ca

How does introducing an additional potential point of failure increase the reliability? Smiling And the reach of identi.ca alone is imo not big.

Identi.ca is to microblogging what Jabber is to IM

On the other hand, you could also *just* use Identi.ca/Laconi.ca and tell your Twitter buddies to make the switch. From what I could gather, Identi.ca is a lot more stable, plus you can choose the Laconi.ca server (or build your own) that fits your needs perfectly.

Personally, I dislike microblogging, but if I'd have to do it, I'd rather use a FOSS and distributed version of it. Just as I prefer Jabber/XMPP over e.g. MSN. Laconi.ca is somewhat to microblogging what Jabber is to IM.

Well, just an idea. If you're happy with Twitter, don't let me stop you Sticking out tongue
