Identi.ca – Another Twitter like Microblogging Service
Identi.ca is the latest microblogging service to the join the likes of Jaiku, Pownce and Plurk. It is identical (couldn’t help 
) to Twitter in that you can let the world know what you are up to by typing short messages.
Identi.ca has support for OpenID and so you don’t need to create a new user account if you already have OpenID. After creating a nickname, you can immediately start typing in the text box. The character limit is set to 140 like in other similar services.
One extra feature that Identi.ca has that Twitter currently doesn’t is Instant Messenger support. Not only can you be notified via your GTalk or Yahoo! Messenger or a Jabber client, but also post your updates from within IM clients. For that you have to first add update@identi.ca to your IM client and then provide your IM address in the settings. After that, just confirm by clicking on a link in the IM message and from then on you can simply click on update@identi.ca in GTalk or whichever IM client you use to publish your short text.
Identi.ca is built using open source code that can be downloaded from Laconica site.
