Novel analogy :-) Well, whereas Twitter might be considered more broadcast oriented, Harnu is intended to be more dialog oriented. Moreover, with translation built in automatically, an aspiration of ours is for much of that dialog to be international in nature, with people communicating in their native language. Want to know what's really happening somewhere? A newspaper or news channel is certainly one perspective but so too is speaking directly to someone in that locale, which is what we're aiming for with Harnu...
