Telling everyone you know about the many fascinating things in your life may sound like a daunting task for even the most dedicated blogger, requiring many hours at the computer and thousands of words. One way to speed things up is limiting your messages to 140 characters or less. Impossible? Not at all. Welcome to microblogging.

Submitted by vergil66 on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 17:36.

The url listed:
www.cookingwithlinux.com/free_microblogging.html
isn't a valid url... really interested in finding a better installation instructions besides the ones listed on the Laconica site (a real pain to install, btw).

Also, the url for Laconica is incorrect: should be http://laconi.ca .
Peace,
Chris
