The number of microblogging worlds to visit continues to climb. You can add them to growing number existing microblogging tools like
Twitter,
FriendFeed,
Plurk,
Jaiku and
Pownce. Twitter - the most popular of these types of tools - has been functioning better lately but this improvement has come at the
expense of the Twitter API. The latest microblogging entries are
Identi.ca and
Kwippy.
Identi.ca is a recently launched microblogging service that has a similar feel to Twitter. It is unique in that it uses the
Open Microblogging specification. Identi.ca recently added a response tab and they are
