Needless to say, the decision drew plenty of negative reaction from users who came to rely on their text-based Tweets. Now, though, two new companies have surfaced with hopes of ...Contribute comment

Laconica’s Not the Only Cool Kid In Town - Introducing OpenMicroblogger (15)
on Stay N' Alive (82) permalinkThere’s a new kid in town in the microblogging space, and no it’s not just “another microblogging site”. I talked to Brian Hendrickson, the lead developer behind OpenMicroblogger.org and its accompanying service OpenMicroblogger.com today and he may just have something to scare both Twitter, and Evan Prodromou of Identi.ca in their tracks.
