  With all due respect to the open source Twitter clones, Facebook didn't beat MySpace by being open source. It beat MySpace by being an exclusive, opinionated, clutter-free alternative to MySpace, and later on a developer platform.

  Are identi.ca and status.net distributed? Their website doesn't make it obvious what it's all about.

    Status.net is the Free software that power Identi.ca - Identi.ca is the showcase instance of Status.net and the biggest to date... But there are many others : http://status.net/wiki/Sites http://status.net/wiki/Sites - And you can deploy your own !

    Yes, using the OStatus protocol suite, see http://status.net/2010/03/07/understanding-ostatus http://status.net/2010/03/07/understanding-ostatus

    No, they're centralized like Twitter. StatusNet is like the Wordpress of microblogging. Each Wordpress installation is its own isolated island. It's the same with StatusNet.

      Not true, see my reply above. Users on different StatusNet instances can subscribe, reply, and fave each other. You can see this in action at https://identi.ca/conversation/60337615 https://identi.ca/conversation/60337615 (which also points out some of the rough edges).
