Killed Twitter and Identi.ca

Just made a hasty decision to delete my Twitter and Identi.ca account. Was thinking about it for a while, now brought it to action. No biggie.

I evaluated it long enough. I think it can be heavily important to certain people and organisations - but the RSS subscription model fits me more. These systems will only start working for me when they federate through open protocols. Of course, this will happen sometime, but then I won't necessarily need an account at their side and be bound to their software. Identi.ca is trying exactly this with StatusNet (ex Laconica), but are not very successful and sadly unreliable. I personally hope XMPP (XEP0060, Wave) will make the race.

* I will keep following the Identi.ca and Twitter contacts via -guess what- RSS

* If you want to @/RT me, leave me a comment or pingback

* I will microblog through this blog
