There’s lots of exciting stuff happening with OpenMicroBlogging . Join us as we create an open sourced web-based client that should work with any OMB compatible service in all the best ways, including real time updates.
We are building this with tools like Dojo and Strophe, but in modular way so that it can easily be extended to suit your needs.
More to come.

How will that work? OpenMicroBlogging doesn’t have a client API defined.
Hey Evan. Glad you had the first comment.
Yeah I should be clear on that. Initially, it’ll be the bear hug thing since Identi.ca supports Twiiter style API, then we’ll have to roll with the “flow”
Also, the incoming will be a web-based XMPP client that will hopefully degrade to the web api if XMPP is down.
But your point is valid since not every OMB implementation is supporting the Twitter style API.
What I want though is a service agnostic real time web client.
What I’m not after is supporting every social network’s api.
So if an OMB api standard does not form, this project will end up re-thinking things.
