A gem of a quote, from @davew from back in 2008: "Twitter is doing us a service, with its lack of stability, in illustrating the dangers of centralized systems. We do need to figure out how to build a Twitter-like system with all the advantages of centralization and none of the disadvantages.". The below the line comment thread is fascinating including some contributions from @blaine. It reminds me of a lot of discussions that the blogging community was having at the time http://scripting.com/stories/2008/01/16/aDecentralizedTwitter.html#p3
