This is comparing apples with oranged. The OpenMicroblogging protocol and Twitter API serve two different uses: OMB deals with server-to-server propagation of messages and profile updates; the Twitter API is for client-to-server communication (e.g. allowing desktop microblogging clients to push messages to a user's notice stream). StatusNet, which is the highest profile implementation of OMB, also implements a Twitter-compatible API (a large overlap with Twitter's API, but some minor differences to account for slightly different functionality of the platforms) for client-to-server communication. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
