Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce should work together to establish Open Social Messaging standard

Social Messaging services are evolving, they should be standardized and enable cross talk like email services, they should not remain closed networks like IMs where every network has its own set of users, and no cross talk is possible, though we have XMPP/Jabber now, but still large networks like MSN, Yahoo, AOL do not support it.
If users of Twitter can follow my Jaikus or vice versa then there will be no need for users to switch or use more than one service, definitely it will benefit all of us.

Now that Google has bought Jaiku and being quite committed to XMPP, I assume others will gravitate towards XMPP and interoperability as well.
I agree.
Pownce is long dead (Motion, anyone?) but Jaiku will support the OpenMicroBlogging specification, just like StatusNet (aka Laconica) and OpenMicroblogger already do. So there is an open social messaging standard out there being used for decentralized and asynchronous communication. Follow me on http://identi.ca/millette :)
