A lot of features have been implemented since then so I wonder if it's still up to your standards or perhaps surpassed them? I’d be interested to know how you feel about identi.ca almost one year on?

I hardly think that to be the case at all, as I blogged <a href="http://www.techipedia.com/2008/twitter-vs-plurk/" rel="nofollow">earlier this week</a>. As far as Identi.ca is concerned, I'm not sure I'm sold -- it's way too similar to Twitter and doesn't seem to have a unique selling point. My experience has been that it's slow and the graphical user interface isn't at all that appealing. Shrug. I'm still on the service, but Identi.ca needs to offer something that Twitter doesn't to impress me. Aha, well, it’s interesting that you’re putting Plurk and Twitter in the same category.

Since it links to ping.fm, it allows me to send the same updates to that crowd as well as any other social networks I'm a member of. But if it can provide the same amount of social network API hooks that FriendFeed and Ping.FM has accumulated, it could replace them all. What all these services need are more automatic triggers, so they generate messages not just from IM sources, but from blogs and RSS feeds by just presenting those URLs.

We'll see, I'm not joining though. Looks like it might be a Twitter killer since it’s now the new talk of the town & everyone is joining up……….. We’ll see, I’m not joining though.

It is grand to see the ever changing world in micro-blogging rapidly changing, especially since Twitter fails so often enough. As we have just been talking in the last half hour or so, keeping it simplified and easy will be the way to go to keep your true 'followers/fans' Cheers! to you, I am all over as well, but staying true to Twitter. ~Oddly Cameron I like your post!
