I did a brief download and evaluation of this tool, StatusNet Desktop a client for Laconica instances like http://identi.ca and got as far as adding my two identities on the main identi.ca site. Something was wrong with the times it was showing, such as “ten minutes ago” for stuff posted in March. It’s my fault for not reading the docs at all but apparently even the army.Twit.tv instance can’t be added because it isn’t secure.
Ok, after some reading I decided to install a server instance, so I did. Now things are a bit more clear, this is the new “Laconica”? Much more fleshed out. Not limited to 140 characters, either. Looks good. Now to figure out what the “secure” part needs.
