Interestingly, identi.ca also seems to have a sustainable model for supporting their post-by-phone service, where (as fas as I can tell) Twitter's `business model' continues to be `convince venture capitalists to give us money to pay for this stuff in hopes that we'll be able to monetise our userbase someday, somehow, once it's big enough'. I guess this means that I have to figure out a different reason to curmudge on microblogging as a whole, now.... Thanks a lot, Arc... ;) -- "Don't Be Afraid To Ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
