Microblogging Service as Business Plan by Abhishek I plan to propose a host of services related to the domain of Microblogging. Microblogging as a phenomenon has grown widely in the last year: from twitter, to friendfeed, identi.ca, facebook, so on and so forth. The standards of microblogging are just evolving. There are no standardized communication protocols apart from xml yet.

My objective is to discuss and come up with few other innovative ideas as well as building a team for marketting, development and deployment of this service.
