Woah. We're going full speed ahead into maximum desktop integration. The only reason Facebook isn't being used with Twitter clients is, you can't do everything with a client yet - but there is no doubt Twitter is becoming more and more a not so web service. This is a trend. Citing the article: > It is included in Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3, and brings support for > Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook, FriendFeed, Flickr, Digg, and Qaiku. So that's an interesting point. The thing has the user interface of the future, but it doesn't support a single social network engine that isn't SaaS. It should use a decentralized privacy enhanced SaaS-free backend instead. And it should learn to use strong cryptography rather than Twitter lists. -- ___ psyc://psyced.org/~lynX ___ irc://psyced.org/welcome ___ ___ xmpp:[email protected] ____ https://psyced.org/PSYC/ _____
