- Appropedia conversations [2 Updates]

I'd love to make our conversations easier, but also efficient - we've all
got demands on our time. So I'm experimenting with this:
appropedia.status.net - feel free to sign up!
This platform is great for noting, tagging and retrieving useful bits of
info, in a public way, as well as having Twitter-style conversations. The
conversations are much easier to follow though, and you can find old posts
even years later, unlike Twitter.
If you want to sign up, great. If not, you could glance at it sometimes to
see what's being posted there.
I'm thinking of it as part of Appropedia's workspace -
BetterMeans<https://secure.bettermeans.com/projects/180>for task
management and this new
StatusNet <http://status.net> site for sharing ideas, connections, snippets
of news, thoughts about how to develop things.
That's all - hope to see you there!
...but if you're a fellow social media geek and want to know more, here are
bonus facts:
- You can post and read with your Android phone using Mustard, and with
your iPhone using the official StatusNet app.
- StatusNet is a basically an open source "Twitter" with extra features
and more control over our own data. (You may have heard of the main site
using this platform: Identi.ca. Great community that's knowledgeable about
tech.)
- You can also follow people and join the relevant groups from your
Identi.ca account - click the "remote" buttons for the people or groups you
want on /appropedia.status.net <http://appropedia.status.net/>. You can
also join Identica groups (e.g. MediaWiki, wiki, publicdomain...) from your
account on appropedia.status.net. The fancy name for that is
"federation".
Cheers

Forgot to mention - you have to confirm your address to be able to post.
There are 3 people signed up so far. Doesn't need a lot of people to be
useful, but still, the more the merrier!
