decentralized TwittEr - treating it like a new Open Standards protocol for an Eco System

why

eliminate Scalabil Ity/[Single Point Of Failure] concerns
avoid having it get broken by bad behavior
avoid Terms Of Service issues? http://twitter.com/tos

Features, in order of importance to me - context: Open Twitter - z2007-03-29- Open Source Twitter

post via web
manage who I follow (like FOAF, look up in Identity Hub)
read fresh/new/recent posts (in batch) from people I follow
- directly via web
- via RSS (hmm, every user could have his own feed at a different place, and you just aggregate them in your Rss Aggregator, though I don't know which aggregators let you group a bunch of feeds and then read in chrono order across feeds - Blog Lines gives you new posts from group by feeds, but grouped by feed)
post via Instant Messaging, SMS
read via Instant Messaging, SMS - personally, I don't do this, but I expect others find it a requirements
