Twister looks freaking badass
Is there a way to bridge between Twitter and Twister? What I mean is, if I make an account on Twister, would it be possible to follow people who post on Twitter?
Why are messages limited to only 140 characters? Does this limitation also apply to direct messages?

Yes, you can bridge using gateways between 2 usernames. You can make this gateway easily using a Python script:

It's limited to 140 chars because that's optimal but AFAIK I don't think it's a fixed limit in the protocol.
i think this is incredible
minus the similar name to twitter and layout as someone already mentioned.
the concept is great and potential to go mainstream is big but getting sued/owned by twitter is risky

if this happens unsystem will invest resources to continue developing it under the same name keeping the same layout.
So, to summarize, it is a knock-off of twitter which is decentralized and cryptographically secure.
I think the mining reward of a promoted message is an interesting idea ... how long will it be until people start pools to mine blocks, sell the space for advertising and pay out rewards to miners in bitcoins?

there's a lot more possible with this:

it could enable many of the difficult to use crypto features of bitcoin like managing a multisig, negotiating some of the contracts, requesting a key to generate new receiver addresses (for privacy). there are many possibilities. it could even obsolete and replace the payment protocol.

Intriguing concept, mining for adspace revenue. It may very well only be a matter of time before this is a reality.
I guess that depends on whether people start using Twister. If people are using it, then advertisers will want to get the promoted messages and will start mining pools (or pay other people to make mining pools). If nobody is using Twister, then nobody will care about the promoted messages and nobody will make pools.

Nice idea but like other people have said its a shame it looks/sounds so much like twitter.
if they go by the layout they show they are soooooo gonna get sued by twitter. also with the name.
lol, first thing I thought.

this is the future of crypto messaging:
http://twister.net.co/
better than bitmessage. inspired by bitcoin. uses bittorrent with a blockchain. made by former xine dev. uses libtorrent (libbitcoin was inspired by libtorrent).
this is it.
