Building an App Engine based Open Microblogging tool

I’m looking at building an Google App Engine based μblogging tool - in other words a identi.ca / laconi.ca clone (which is a twitter clone).

I would implement the OpenMicroBlogging spec so it could talk to laconi.ca servers.

I’m looking at building it on top of the talk.org code (source is on github). Currently talk.org still needs a lot of work - it has no followers implementation to start with.

If anyone else is interested in joining in to develop this **leave me a comment! **I’ll post updates as to how I got - for now I must get back to writing reports :)
