Identi.ca is a new microblogging service. You can use it to write short posts (140 characters) about yourself, where you are, and what you’re doing, and those notices will be sent to all your friends and fans. So, it provides same service like Twitter, Jaiku or other microblogging services do. Then where is the catch? How it is different? Identi.ca is different from other micro-blogging, because it uses Open Network Service.

Identi.ca

Yes, it uses Open Network Service and supports OpenID. All the software used for Identi.ca is Free Software, and all the data is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, making it Open Data. Identi.ca also implements the OpenMicroBlogging protocol, that will allow your friends on other micro-blogging services to receive your updates. You can also post your messages to Identi.ca using a Jabber client on your computer, mobile phone, or other platforms like GTalk.

Identi.ca is a very simple tool and I found it very easy to use. But, it is too early to predict something. Well, SMS updates and notifications, Facebook integration, automatic URL-shortening, multilingual interface, multimedia notices, AJAX interface etc, are some of the features that are expected to be added to Identi.ca in near future. So, I am sure that it will work and people gonna love it!

If you really love microblogging and want to think beyond Twitter or other traditional microblogging platforms, then you can give Identi.ca a try.
