I got tagged in the bunnymeme. I even got nagged about it. I have to admit, drawing a bunny is kind of a relief from a busy week.
Here are the rules:
- Draw a Bunny (or more)
- Post it to your blog with the rules
- Name three other bloggers that should draw a bunny
Here is my bunny:
And here are the three blogger friends I can think of who aren't too uptight and full of themselves to post a picture of a hand-drawn bunny:
- Hugh McGuire
- Michele Ann Jenkins
- Nicolas Ritoux
Update: there's a nice graph tracking the meme's progress.

Montreal Startup invests in Control Yourself, Inc.
On a more serious note, I'm glad that GigaOM has published a story about venture investment in my company, Control Yourself, Inc. ("Identi.ca Gets Funding to Make Open-source Twitter Variant").
I'm psyched to be working with Montreal Start Up to build CYI into a viable Open Source business. They've been really supportive of the Open Everything strategy, including building the OpenMicroBlogging standard.
Thanks to everyone who's sent private and public congratulations. The fun part starts now!

Open Source Jaiku
The news came out on the same day that Google announced they're going to release the Jaiku code as Open Source software.
I think this is great news. Hopefully, we can work together to build a federated network of microblogging sites running Open Source software connected with open standards. It's so important to have multiple implementations of any open standard, and I think Identica and Jaiku can be a good team for the microblogging world.
