Twhirl supports identi.ca via XMPP (live updates)

Posted at 01:00 | | Comments (View)

Rafe on CNET has broken the news that we just added XMPP support for identi.ca on Twhirl. Twhirl and identi.ca users can now update and read their replies in identi.ca using the most popular micro blogging client and see their friends updates in real time. We have had XMPP support in Twhirl ready for many weeks, in fact it was ready for testing with Twitter just when they shut down IM access so Twhirl could not give this benefit to its users for Twitter unfortunately, yet.

We will have it ready for Twitter users as soon as Twitter supports IM again. To avoid confusion this is different from the firehose, it is really about interacting both ways live with your friends and we can't wait to see it on Twitter too.

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
