@brennannovak @ablaze @daltonc Why not build off of StatusNet? Seems like the problem has largely been solved by them already.

@brennannovak I guess I don't see the decentralization/federation in app.net's proposal.

@brennannovak @BarnabyWalters I guess I don't see the app•net :: git analogy, it seems like they are just making a proprietary service.

@brennannovak @BarnabyWalters but Twitter was never built on an existing distributed protocol. The closest analogy would be RSS/Atom feeds
