Quick note: our very own Dan Brickley was an employee of Joost, a p2p internet tv company. I think maybe he could give us some pointers in this area. Lastly, +1 on this xg looking closely at open source projects.

Would you mind expanding on that? I've skimmed the OpenMicroBlogging spec [1] and it seems to only deal with a means to allow users of one microblogging service to publish notices to users of another service, given the other users' permission, and relying upon OAuth. I don't see how it supports load balancing, for instance.

The open social web needs to be more than just microblogging although I agree that that is an important component. P2P techniques together with sub-pub models can offer near real-time performance without the need for relying on any one vendor for compute power.
