Welcome to the new site
Last night I launched a spankin’ new version of Buzzbird’s homepage. The old one was a pair of static pages that I threw together, with a handful of links to the github wikis and a free Wordpress hosted blog. I decided that Buzzbird really deserved something better, so I went all out and made a new self-hosted Wordpress site for it.
The old site wasn’t “lively” enough; it looked dead and unloved. You couldn’t tell if anyone had done anything with Buzzbird in the past few months. So I’m hoping to blog more often (even if it’s just a few quick sentences) to keep breathing life into it. The Twitter widget on the front page shows what people are saying about Buzzbird right now. Hopefully it’s mostly positive – it’s an unfiltered live search. 
See you all on Twitter!

I downloaded Buzzbird to my Ubuntu Desktop, but it doesn’t seem to have support for StatusNet sites like identi.ca, so I couldn’t actually try it out. StatusNet supports the Twitter API, BTW.

Hey Michael,
identi.ca support has been on the “to-do” list almost since I started writing Buzzbird almost a year ago. Unfortunately it hasn’t percolated up to the top of the list yet, but thanks for letting me know that there’s interest! It helps me decide what to work on next.

Since you already have multiple account support, adding a field for the API endpoint (so it doesn’t assume Twitter is the only possibility) shouldn’t be too hard. I hope?
In any case, thanks for listening to my feature request!

Too bad buzzbird does not support identi.ca… Looks nice but I can’t use it.
