Comments on: Exclusive: Twhirl gets pushy with Identi.ca

Nanoblog app gets updates from open-source service via XMPP. We're still waiting for similar support from Twitter.

by xxdesmusxx July 20, 2008 6:28 PM PDT: As a follow up to myself ...I'm kind of a moron. I signed up using OpenID, but if I go to settings --> password and set a password, I can then login without a problem using my nickname and this password. This will be a necessary step for all users who signed up/sign in using OpenID though.; Like this Reply to this comment

by loiclemeur July 20, 2008 9:37 PM PDT: knuthansen, this is adobe Air which is a little resource demanding but Adobe is working on that. We can't really do anything about this with Twhirl so far.

Thanks Rafe for the story.; Like this Reply to this comment

Identi.ca's openness and free software foundation means it could spawn thousands of niche networks. Finally Friendfeed and http://tweetscan.com/identica now offer ways to search Identi.ca messages as was only previously available for Twitter.; Like this Reply to this comment
