If it works here but not on Blogspot then I'll know where the problem is.

I'm going to be working over the next few days to get performance up to snuff, and then going after some of the low-hanging feature requests (reply button, anyone?). I'm glad identi.ca has captured the Web community's imagination. I think scalability is key, but I also believe that as Knuth said, “premature optimization is the root of all evil”.

Only one criticism though - MAKE IT EASIER TO ADD FRIENDS! I’m tossing my hat in with identi.ca, not putting all my eggs in one basket, but it seems like a great new solution.

Let's give this a run and see if it might be what we've been seeking. Add SMS updating and a client of some sort (in addition to getting folks over there) and that would likely seal the deal for me.

Gaeyia paired many attendees with a W&K creative person. I loved it! It gave us a chance to talk about creative projects which I like to do in addition to my technical programming work. The more openness and creativity brought to Pdx events the better I say! I’ve met technical, business and creative people at Lunch 2.0. Gaeyia paired many attendees with a W&K creative person.

I'm not saying that Identi.ca is the solution to all of Twitter's ills, but a) it was designed to scale by distribution and b) over the past 12 hours, it's been a hell of a lot more stable than Twitter. I'm being optimistic and hoping it turns out to be all that I hope it will :) You’re right Jeff, Identi.ca is definitely under a MUCH lighter load than Twitter.

However, we can't judge their stability yet. Late this afternoon, the create (@evan) posted a comment that the site was up to just under 1,800 users. Not exactly enough to measure scalability. You are right, the open source/distributive part of it is the key. I will say that identi.ca is the first of the twitter clones that I think could actually kill twitter. It's clean, easy to use but still looks good, and it works! Identi.ca is really promising. However, we can’t judge their stability yet.
