So, I absolutely agree that it would have been nice to have some more features and be better ready for the big onslaught than I was. But, all things considered, I'm pretty happy with how things went. The site went live, got on RWW, TechCrunch, Mashable, and Slashdot, got enthusiastic support from Dave Winer and Doc Searls, and shot to 10,000 users in 36 hours. If it wasn't @replies that were missing, it was going to be some other feature, and you just don't know which it's going to be before launch. Anyways: I appreciate your open opinion about this, and I hope that I'll be able to "fill in the gaps" on features and bugs as I've done on servers and scaling. - Evan Prodromou
During the first 48 hours there was no single time that I was unable to access the site, even when users were signing up in their thousands. For that one reason, Identi.ca was instantly superior to Twitter. - Earle Martin
It's much better now. - Aaron Brazell
