@[email protected] Blimey, never expected to see you back on the "federated" web! 😀

@thelovebug Federated web, Ha! Nothings changed. You cant search across instances, you cant talk to other services and there's still no bloody unicorns!

@dickturpin @thelovebug Federation without every conceivable feature is still federation, you can't force other services to interoperate with you, and the unicorns are over at http://rainbowdash.net/ .

@clacke It's not about force it's about communication. I will never understand people claiming bragging rites of "Federation" when the technology is in fact a Walled Garden a bit like Apple. True freedom is communication across ALL services, the point being, you are FREE to choose what service you like to talk to your friends.

@thelovebug I'm now off to kick a baby otter becuase of you. #OldArguements

@dickturpin  it feels like you're knocking the services that already offer the possibility to federate rather than the services that don't.

@luke @dick_turpin I mean, if Twitter hadn't removed their rss stuff, we'd be able to talk with them a little bit easier ;)

@maloki @luke Exactly! Communication is a two way street. I'm just as happy to slag off Twitter, Facebok and G+ :-)
