This is so ridiculous. As if someone can't just set up a domain themselves and release the shit.

How do you promote the domain? That's the real question. Twitter makes it quick, effortless and free to disseminate really interesting information. It's slower, more cumbersome, possibly more expensive with other methods, even with something like email.

I think this is why we need an open source twitter / equivalent. Just to enable people to communicate even in local networks.
