The thing we learned from RSS re twitter is unless people work together, and they refused to, the central service always wins.

In RSS that meant that subscription was a complicated process that browsers got in the way of, where in twitter it was one obvious click.

We could still pull this off but we need feature advantages and it has to be easy to subscribe, but bigger picture, people have to actively, religiously work together.
