Micro-blogging

[Scott Abbey]

I noticed that a Twitter [1] account was set up for the Virginia team.
I would suggest that we also create an identi.ca [2] account. For
those that don't know, identi.ca is a Twitter-like service that runs
on laconi.ca [3], an open source implementation of the open
microblogging spec. It seems appropriate for a group that professes
free software ideals to use a platform that runs on free software in
preference to a closed system like Twitter. That doesn't mean that I
think we should stop using Twitter. On the contrary, identi.ca makes
it easy to cross post to both: linking the accounts in identi.ca
allows posts you submit to identi.ca to be automatically forwarded to
Twitter.

(FYI my identi.ca [4] and my Twitter [5] accounts.)
