A Twitter clone that's all-the-way open? 
Did Christmas come early this year?

First thing --> looking for an API.
It supports the OpenMicroBlogging protocol, which I had not heard about until now.
evan appears to be the author of the software, or at least the authority on it.
From the FAQ, it will support the Twitter API, but doesn't yet. There is RSS here, but I haven't found it yet.
Here's the RSS. http://identi.ca/dave/all/rss Just add "/rss" after anything.
I've hooked it up to FriendFeed, but it looks (much) less than optimal (and I'm being kind). They really need to work on the RSS, it's the first really lame thing I've seen in identi.ca.
