   Just in case anyone's wondering: I'm not trying to build an "Open Twitter". I'm trying to build something better. The next thing.

     Nobody wants that. Everytime I ask, people overwhelmingly vote for "140". We have lots of >140 networks.

     @evan maybe that's because everyone who wants > 140 jumped to their own instance :0

     @ryanweal @evan Nah. People who want that use G+ or Facebook. That's no evolution to microblogging.

     I've never liked the term "microblogging". I prefer "stream-oriented social network" or "microcasting".

     ...or just "social network".

     How about "mycrowblogging"? http://www.mycrowblog.com/

     Just "social network" is too inaccurate imho. At a "microcast" I'd expect something audio/video related. So, "microblogging" is ok for me.
