Do you know something the rest of us don't? ;) In terms of numbers of users, Plurk would be next on the list, with Pownce following that. Neither matches Twitter very closely though. For a very Twitter-like experience, I'd suggest Identica.

No, I know nothing. :) But so many people rely on Twitter its rather frightening...
Should Twitter go down like Big Style, then everything is becomes so fragmented, people scattered all over the shop. Be nice that as certain communities, a approved back-up, where you all have similar contacts can be fallen on. Doomsday type scenario, but totally not impossible.

@imjustcreative Identica actually has some good tie-ins with Twitter as well, like importing your friends, etc. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Im on Identi.ca and have the Twhirl Air account window open for it, so I can keep tabs on any direct messages in Indenti.ca and reply directly.
But lacking contacts that are relevant as I do in Twitter. But slowly building them up. May do a post encouraging people to at least sign up and build up some main core of followers, can't do any harm.

I think we should all move to identica/laconica so we can have our own community but still talk to each other.

@svartling I can't make my mind up about ReJaw. It's on one hand really cool, love the name, like the interface, but something doesn't sit right with me about it.
Have you got the ReJaw Radar Air App? Here's my Rejaw credentials then whilst we are at it : http://rejaw.com/imjustcreative Can't put my finger on it.

@accman @svartling @imjustcreative @imjustcreative @johngrinde @johngrinde @svartling I would bet Twitter will be around in some form for a long long time even if gobbled up by a google, microsoft, facebook, etc., and that it will be very hard for imitators to take hold given the powerful network effects.

@jasongoldberg @svartling Oh that's true enough.
Im more thinking about downtimes really, the unpredictable nature. As you said, it grows and grows... For seomthing that so many people rely on for constant communication would do not harm and would be quite logical to have a common back-up in these down times. This would mean kinda agreeing within your own communities and adding each other sooner rather than later. So its more a preventative measure, follow people now then you are more likely to be able to switch over and not loose much conversation. Even it Twitter stalls for a few hours or an afternoon, which it did do last week, even that can cause difficulties. However, if everyone had one common back-up app, moving over would have been pretty painless. Just say'n. :)
