  Is it possible to realise something like Jabber is doing it with the Jabber Protocol XMPP?

  There every user has a unique ID username@yourombserver.tld and messages can be sent to or recieved from OMB-users and it doesn't make a difference on which server you are.

  Maybe there could be a single host server where you can register your OMB (or it pings from itself) to generate a "unique short id" like username|tiquer or username|omb. This host-server-short-id-list could be catched from every OMB to know where to send the messages. So users don't have to enter the whole ID (instead of @brian@openmicroblogger.com; @brian|omb).

  This - from the host server catchable - list could also help finding people on other networks because through the list you know the OMB urls.

  Oh, okay...there seems to exist something like this:
  http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/microblogging.html

  But what about the standard of Openmicroblogging (http://openmicroblogging.org/) and the 'Jaiku-federation' (http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/source/browse/trunk/doc/federa...?

  I don't understand if developing the standards of Openmicroblogging is still alive. Generally openmicroblogger is based on this, isn't it?

  yes the Openmicroblogging standard is still alive. every installed copy of Laconica has omb, the "mothership" at identi.ca has omb, and every openmicroblogger has omb.

  I like the omb protocol (obviously) because it is very simple and direct, and it uses the latest oauth technology

  also, Jaiku is working on support for omb protocol, see this page
  https://www.ohloh.net/tags/jaikuengine-cn/microblogging

  and there is a Python omb implementation in the works

  there is a new omb implemenation that works with Wordpress

  the omb standard is at version 0.1 and it will have "private feeds" and other improvements for 0.2 -- obviously it needs better cross-site addressing

  http://openmicroblogging.org is the main site

  You can get on the omb mailing list and ask omb protocol questions here
  http://lists.openmicroblogging.org/mailman/listinfo/omb

  omb/oauth technology is very easy to install on your web server compared to jabber/xmpp, it works on most any web host but you can't hook your Gwibber or other cool xmpp client to it right now

  tiquer.me OpenMicroBlogger could be made into an XMPP node with a wordpress plugin, or an app like the one in /app/notifixious

  XMPP support is a feature i'd like to add as soon as possible.
