louisgray.com: Twitter Planning to Implement OpenMicroblogging Standard

Description

For those that follow me here or on my personal blog, you know I'm a big fan of open standards for microblogging.  I even left Twitter for Identi.ca and FriendFeed for a short time partly because of this.  The concept of "OpenMicroblogging" is simple - if your microblogging service supports it, I can then subscribe to any user on any other microblogging service that supports it, and then follow those users right on the microblogging service I'm most familiar with.  It is a protocol, similar to TCP/IP, the same protocol websites use to communicate with your browser over the internet.
