I'm a fan of alt.folklore.computers (usenet) because winner of battles write the books of history but there are many little known stories.Evan Prodromou started the software #Laconica as a alternative to #Twitter in 2008 I think, technically based on RSS feeds, XML and it was federated. Hackers and activists were enthusiastic. #identi.ca was the main instance run by Evan. In 2009 a conference was held in Hamburg, Germany: #microblogging conference (#mbc09) where the future was looking bright. There was even a conference named "bear hug" where Twitter managers were invited. Discussion: about a universal protocol for microblogging. Twitter retracted, with dollar signs in their eyes.I assume Evan wasn't technically satisfied with his solution, also his servers generated a lot of costs. He started totally new with JSON as message format and switched from PHP to node.js. Unfortunately a lot of users were lost with this migration to a new platform. Laconica was then known as status.net and later(?) as GNU Social.
