Now is the perfect time to release, when Twitter is failing, and people are looking for refuge. Also, it’s open source, which means the best and the brightest software engineers in the world will have a chance at creating a scalable, decentralized Twitter clone. Even on Day 0, so much happened. There was an issue with RSS that people pointed out when importing to other services like Friendfeed, and evan fixed it within an hour. There were no Replies, so people took it onto themselves to write a Greasemonkey script and a Yahoo Pipe. Many people already started looking at the code.

It's not easy being the leader of the pack. Twitter's still doing ok.

Twitter has already becoming a habit for many social media addicts out there. It will be difficult to kick Twitter out of the market, moreover Identica is simply a cloneof Twitter and has lesser features too.

Looks scary. Twitter better get their act together before they get bumped out of the way.

ok, so why does it get the buzz, while the other hundred 'twitter killers' don't. it's not the quality of the app, see my comment below, others are far more promising, at least imho… i don't believe in miracles…

I think getting away from the Twitter name entirely is only a good thing. Playing on someone else's trademark makes your service seem like a derivative of theirs, which Laconi.ca/Identi.ca aren't.

Guys, as a friend of Evan, whose service Identi.ca is, and an early tester, I can tell you for a fact that it's entirely word of mouth. I've been amazed at the good buzz that everyone's generated, and I don't think he expected quite this much, either.

I was thinking “note” (140 characters is about as much as you could comfortably fit on a Post-It). “Post” has a strong established meaning for a longer piece of text.

On the verb, how about playing off the .ca domain AND the bird theme. Tweet -> Caw (you know, like the sound a crow makes)

a great write up of the identi.ca. it's interesting to arrive to a new service with a list of assumptions of what is needed thanks to the bad experiences most of us have had with twitter.

for me, the killer feature that identi.ca must have over twitter if it's to be viable is the ability to scale without the dreaded fail whale. everything else is gravy.
