First of all, if you're American, and you're reading this - I have to ask why? The web is like a ghost town today. There isn't much going on via Twitter. FriendFeed is unusually slow, and about six or so of our two trillion readers showed up to leave a comment today. It's July 4! Independence Day! Go out and have a brew and a hot dog!
For all our non-American friends and readers, and the six US readers who have nothing else better to do, Sean P. Aune and I have recorded a special episode of Mashable Conversations today. We scoured the web and couldn't find a guest to come in today, so we reverted to a topic that had particularly irked us from the week past - the bizzarre assumption by some in the blogosphere that Identi.ca is the natural successor to Twitter.
I won't steal the show's thunder, but Sean and I puzzle over this idea and try to figure out exactly why this is being said. It's a short episode, so go ahead and watch before you throw on your swimwear and jump in the pool this afternoon.
You can leave your comments on this topic in the comments for inclusion on future episodes.
