Identi.ca has launched. It's a microblogging service that runs on AGPL
software and content posted is considered CC BY.

Identi.ca is a microblogging service brought to you by Control
Yourself, Inc.. It runs the Laconica microblogging software, version
0.4.0, available under the GNU Affero General Public License.

They've even implemented OpenID right, so that you don't need an
account. And you can post with XMPP! Very free indeed. Goodbye Twitter.

Of to auth against any kind of API for OpenID users they're going to need
tokens... or preferrably OAuth...! ;)

Oh, and here's a Fail Whale for your enjoyment:

I've sent them an email, but if someone knows someone there, they
might give them a nudge?

What's wrong with the SRV records? The guy to ping is Evan:
