Kwippy is a new, fast way to do various micro-blogging tasks via instant messenger, GTalk and Yahoo Messenger. With all the recent problems of Twitter, micro-bloggers are moving to other platforms like FriendFeed. Kwippy’s unique ability to post updates on the fly with instant messenging might be enough to lure some of the Twitter refugees.
The developers of Kwippy seemed to think out the architecture in advance to avoid scaling problems like Twitter. The core language is written in Python using the Django framework. They also use a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system.
