It was only a matter of time before more sites joined the microblogging world, and here comes Identi.ca, an open source Twitter clone – and possible rival.

There’s certainly some buzz on Twitter about the new site, and plenty of people rushing to explore and signup, either to play around, or to protect their ‘brand name’.

There’s an explicit choice to make sure everything you post is under Creative Commons. And you select friends to follow on your personal timeline, integrated with your own messages.

Meanwhile there’s also Globme, in Beta invite stage.

Good time to be on a microblog blog, just as the bandwagon comes hurtling into town. The prize will be for the site which doesn’t fall down if Twittertown all decide to migrate at the same time.
