Open source twitter clone anyone?
Does anyone know of an open source twitter clone? Preferably in PHP or Python. Not a client mind you, but the server guts of receiving IMs and doing something with them, enabling followers, public viewing, etc. I want to implement this on an intranet inside a corp network and obviously not display our tweets for public consumption, but only internal consumption. If this doesn’t exist, what do you all think is the easiest way to create this? An instance of jabber or something else?

hmm, just found this twitter clone in scala. I guess scala is similar to java, never heard of it before today.

Erlang, so it can handle a zillion concurrent requests and scale infinitely.

Something could be built around Jabber. Incidentally, the ejabberd daemon is written in Erlang.

You might consider this more of a Tumblr clone than a Twitter clone but Gelato is close. gelatocms.com is the site and is in Italian (I think) and english. I’ve installed earlier versions of the software and found it good enough for me. Obviously, there isn’t any mobile support (SMS, MMS, etc) but I can post from my Blackberry web browser.
Hope this helps.

You may want to check out Laconi.ca. Identi.ca runs with that software.

You may want to look at the prologue theme of wordpress. It sounds exactly what you are looking for.
