Today, that’s on 2nd July, Control Yourself, Inc. has launched a new microblogging service Identi.ca . It is similar to other existing microblogging services like twitter, pownce..etc. However there are differences. Loot at the features below.
Features of Identica
- Identi.ca’s underlying software is available under an Open Source license. It uses Laconica.
- It supports OpenMicroBlogging. This helps users to subscibe to updates / notices of other services which support OpenMicroBlogging.
- Content ( except for private user data such as password, email, phone number..etc ) posted on Identica will be open content licensed under Creative commons. So, it is true open service.
- By default, it provides ur1.ca url redirection service, which is OSD-complaint, to shorten urls.
- It supports Openid. WOW!
- If you don’t like identica or got bored with it sometime later, you can take your data back, move on to another server or service of your choice or even on your own server. WOW! WOW!!.
I have already registered an account. I am 225th user. Subscribe to me at http://identi.ca/harsha
I have also added it to my gtalk. Considering the features mentioned above, I think it will get a huge success. Lets hope.
