    probably they read about your blog and initiated the India Short Code 5566511 - http://blog.twitter.com

    I've started a prologue blog over at http://gabbr.bwana.org to serve as a forum for my show listeners and general announcements.

    Interesting idea... and I might be willing to use it. But I can't figure out how to install it.

    I admit to being a very casual Wordpress user, but I downloaded and installed my current theme pretty easily. THis looks.. complicated.

    Thanks for the mention! I don't think it will be a Twitter killer, but I do think you'll see more people gravitate to other sites that implement prologue. Twitter still brings a more general conversation that a single blog can't bring.

    I had never heard of this. As a Wordpress user, I appreciate hearing this.

    This is a great blog. Would you be interested in exchanging links?

    @Moksh: You totally flatter me, my friend! :D

    @Bwana: Very interesting application of Wordpress Prologue. I have added it to my list.

    @Vicki: Try playing around with Prologue on Wordpress.com first if the Wordpress.org version looks to complicated to you.

    @Jesse: Of course, Prologue is not going to be a Twitter killer itself, but it will work as proof of concept for a distributed micro-blogging network.

    @Eamon: Thanks, but no thanks, my friend.

    Yes, it is quite similar to twitter but I wonder if this application is only limited to Wordpress bloggers. I'm not a real fan of knowing what other people are doing nor of the other way around. But I've heard a lot about twitter. This one here is a new one though...

    You may want to check out Yonkly. It's the first niche microblog to integrate with Twitter.

    thanks for the info. the biggest problem so far on making a twitter like page, is the fact that many star plugins dont work on 2.7.. (login, customizing etc) and the prologue theme, itself is not enough!
