Twitter clone

I’ve been thinking about what I don’t like about Twitter and I just saw this post from Ted Leung about a Twitter clone.

Oh yah - “I don’t like the idea of locking my balls in Evan Willaims vice”.   But if we got Twitter clones - then we just need to scrape Twitter and aggreagte all the clones together.

Right?

    Why not do it the other way - create a Twitter clone that lets you post to all the Twitter clones all at once? Then of course aggregate all the others for the reply path…

    Twitter offers RSS and API, no need to scrape anything, look at what Dave has been doing lately, you can bring your balls wherever you want at any time.

    Marc,

    While the article I pointed to does implement something that could be called a twitter clone, I was posting it more for the Scala and lift stuff than for the “free Twitter” stuf. It would probalby need a bit more work to get to the level of where Twitter is today.
