it's only not an issue on jaiku because there is (relatively) no discussion actually happening here
-
or even better... todd's response back doesn't actually link back to my post
-
witness something like - http://twitter.com/walkah/status/1035238...
-
while, yes, they have a link to a specific post that it was 'in reply to' - that post is just the most recent post from that person at the time of your post... they have no way to track what post you were actually responding to
-
it really is a nice system for conversations
-
well, yes ... it could be a UI issue... the problem is twitter doesn't actually store reply structure. it considers any "reply" (post starting with @ user) to be a response to their most recent post... which leads to a mess in a hurry
-
I agree, the best threads (still) happen on jaiku. When IM is working (which it doesn't seem to be for me again) it's awesome - fast , unobtrusive... really nice. I hate that you can't point to the URL of a conversation on twitter.
-
yes, yes, twitter is horribly broken. however, outside of you 4 ... everyone else is over there ... omb blah blah blah. why aren't all of you openmicroblogging?
-
shrug i'm a sucker for heroes. i might just be a sucker. also, yes. torrents away!

tried STOP & START as well as signing out and in ... no dice :-/
-
definitions of "protocol" aside - twitter's "simple and open" factor seems to be winning - jaiku has been 'closed loop' since acquisition, pownce is gone - and identi.ca is supporting twitter's api to spur client adoption. the password anti-pattern in the twitter api makes it scary that it's becoming so defacto
-
@UnConeD just because i'm the top google result for "drupal pants" does not mean I actually have drupal in my pants. and that has little to do with the ubiquity of twitter in the microblogging world :-P
-
@UnConeD my pants?
-
@randomfrequency i'm missing your point?
-
@gvan yes, i'm quite aware of #openmicroblogging - see http://groups.drupal.org/node/14953 :-)
-
there is a lot substantially wrong with the twitter api - first and foremost with authentication. also, your metaphors are getting silly :P
-
@randomfrequency - actually, identi.ca has already adopted the twitter API - and if it's not a protocol - tell that to the majority of twitter usage which happens via said API
-
my point was - it's a non-optimal protocol that is threatening to become ubiquitous despite it's obvious shortcomings.
-
I don't know of one... but there should be
