It has been a while sense I have posted on this blog. Life has been hectic and other projects have taken precedence. I do have a few blog posts in the works and I hope to have those out this week.

The projects that have taken all my time are related to other web sites that I am launching with my wife. I have been working on a theme for this site that needs some fine tuning. And now I have to do a web site for my next family reunion in 2010.

If you are subscribed to my RSS feed, I want to thank you for following. I will try to keep this blog active.

That is right! I said it. Now what you going to do about it?!?

Twitter has become cool because, they were purchased by Control Yourself, Inc.. Control Yourself, Inc. is the creating body behind the Leconica open source microblogging software that powers Identi.ca. Yup, that wonderful open microblogging, protocol pimping, federated communication entity  stepped up and saved the tweeting day by buying the most crashy ass Web 2.0 site out there. Now there is a chance for everyone to not get the Twitter Fail Whale when trying to post their most important tweets.

“We consider this an excellent merger of resources,” says Control Yourself CEO Evan Prodromou, who will remain in charge of the combined operations. “Identi.ca brings a superior feature set, a distributed architecture and Open Source development model, and impressive reliability, while Twitter brings little smiley robot images and the timely, fascinating personalities like Britney Spears and Shaquille O’Neal, as well as a celebrity concierge.”

So, what does this mean for all the the loyal open mircoblogging software users and followers. . . . WE WIN!!!!

As you can tell, I am pretty excited about this news. I have no idea where Evan Prodromou and Control Yourself, Inc. came up with the Franklins, Roosevelts, Benjamins, Washingtons & Canadian Bank Notes to buy Twitter. I suspect that Twitter was not truly worth all the money that was projected by the street. Or Evan just rolls in cash like P Diddy and we didn’ t know it. Either way, I am damn happy they were able to drop kick the freedom haters into the wide open arena of free software.

Good job Evan, I am looking forward to seeing what other Web 2.0 freedom haters you will be taking on in the near future. . . Facebook maybe?

Peace,

Ken

PS – Not sure I am digging the new look of Identica.
