Plenty of discussion on a SkypeJournal post last week on SIP and signaling and whether Skype could move their whole platform to a SIP based approach. I'm not sure it is relevant. So let's be provocative and suggest that "Twitter" is a better method and how and what the parties do to enable the connection behind the scenes is better left to the techos. The users don't care if the experience is better and more relevant. My statement really focuses on "text-based" signaling between two or more parties as the precursor to speaking.

I've been writing about my identity and controlling my data for years. I've taken action to consolidate my data stream when possible. The real-time status update still needs some imagination in my book. Then we will get there.
