    News - Gloggy arrives as the micro-blogging alternative to Twitter

    Wait for the leading micro-blogging site to suffer a denial-of-service attack, then launch one of your own? Sounds a good idea.

    I'm going to launch a service that allows 180 characters per tweet... i mean glog... i mean post, and blow the competition out of the water.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    How about "Glitter". Like Gloggy and Twitter but only allows you to "glit" nude pictures of Vietnamese children to your followers.

    No?

    You guys could get a job at Gillette no worries. I can see the "Double Century" razor now. 200 hundred blades of pure awesomeness on a single razor head.

    Yeah but if we go beyond 255 I might run into problems because my app is written in Pascal.

    Twitter is established, this isn't, plus they would have learnt from the DDOS attack. The moment you start a character war is goes away from what its meant to be. Can't see it taking off though.

    I think that Gloggy have many advantages. One of them is the users subdomains. Tell me other service that can do this? In Twitter you have twitter.com/user. In identi.ca is the same. Gloggy installed and Trends function today and the guys creating it says that they will add many new and unique functions. I already registered there and I am happy with my new account. All these ironic is useless.

    By the way, Gloggy is open source too. So you can give it a try. Install it on your system and customize it in the way you want.

    Can anyone provide me with a link whereby I might download and install Gloggy for my community site? Edit - found it.
