It's been sometime since we chatted :-) Perhaps you have 'meebo' like application in mind. In the Open Source space, there are infrastructures that support multi-user IM. For example, please take a look at 'Jabber' which is also an innovation on XMPP. Thus, Kopete supports GTalk through Jabber. Most of the 'tweet' based engines are best exemplified by . Twitter.com . Yammer.com Here the message queue design and application interface are open. For, Twitter, please see 'kestrel' Then offcourse there is identi.ca based on laconi.ca I'm sure there are other projects out there that Twincling community may be aware off or would like to highlight. thanks Saifi.
