Getting into the microblogging world a week or so ago, has been interesting. For one thing I must say i don’t find twitter as useless and boring as facebook. I’ve been following a few people who provide interesting links to articles or posts that I have missed in the areas of technoogy, science and politics. So to that end, I can say it serves the purpose I intended it to serve (at least for now).
Having said that I discovered Identi.ca, an free/open source microblogging platform with a smaller community than twitter, mainly with users that are highly technologically oriented, being either software developers, web designers etc. Of course there are a lot of users on identi.ca that do not necessarily fall under any of those tech categories and that’s really good if the platform is to take off. To be honest, being free software, I believe that everybody on the twitter network should move to identi.ca and support the openness that it provides, and promote the ideas of free/open source software. So see you on identi.ca @serk01. Come on people,
“join us now and free the software”!!!
