We're both really interested in interoperability, and we're architecting the Pownce API with it in mind. I'm in charge of API development, so feel free to <a href="http://pownce.com/shawnbot/" rel="nofollow">add me on Pownce</a> (and <a href="http://twitter.com/shawnbot" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a>) if you want to stay abreast of what I'm working on. You can contact me through either of those services if you have any specific requests or suggestions. I spoke with Blaine from Twitter about this a bit on Friday.

And I've then got Twitter tweets ending up in a Skype chat. So I'm getting all my friends updates on all the status systems ending up in one place. But that's only a 1/3 of the battle. I also need:- - Update one service and have my account on the others update automatically. Tricky when so many of them are closed (see Facebook). - There's no way to see a list of all my friends on all the services. And like everyone else there's a feeding frenzy of finding the same people to add to the friend's list on this week's hot new system. If everyone has RSS out, then aggregating it all is easy. But those second two issues are hard. Not impossible, but hard. I’ve got RSS flying around between all these services via Twitterfeed and dummy Twitter accounts.

Mike, cloning your competitor's API is a strategy for making it easier for customers to switch. Microsoft used to be the master of this approach called Embrace & Extend.
