Emerging Tech Talk #018 - Open Source and Microblogging

Why are identi.ca and laconica important? What are they anyway? What about Google's making Jaiku open source?

In this episode, host Dan York talks about recent news of Identi.ca's funding and Google's move to make Jaiku open source: what they mean in the social media picture and why open source platforms for microblogging may be useful (if for no other reason than to have a Plan B for any problems with Twitter).
