Technology Review: “Beyond simply replicating features of Twitter, however, Prodromou made a few important changes to how Identi.ca’s open-source core, Laconica, is set up. The software is designed so that anyone who wants to host a microblogging site can do so by running Laconica on his own servers. Because of this, Laconica includes features that allow people hosted on different servers to subscribe to each other’s posts. To do this, Prodromou wrote OpenMicroBlogging, a suggested standard for use in communication between microblogging services.”
