Greetings, Well, I've decided to go ahead and work out something and see if it flies. I'm starting an open source CF microblogging tool which I'm going to call PingPong. I'll be blogging about it as I go - http://www.riahsoftware.com/fuseblog/index.cfm?fuseaction=fuseblog.BrowseCategory&Category=D%2EO%2EA%2EP%2E%20%2D%20PingPong
One thing I'd like to do is put it in different framework - Fusebox, Mach-II, Model-Glue, ColdBox, etc. That way, no matter which one you are using you'd have a version of the app ready to go. Also, what's the magic number in 140 charcaters? Is that the most text you can send in a SMS message or something? Anyone have any other thoughts or ideas I'd should consider?
