Cross-Network Commenting Protocol

A new open source protocol called Salmon allows comments to be sent to, and from, one social network to another. Is this the future of social networking, the downfall of Facebook? I like the idea, but I have a feeling it will stay off in the shadows and not gain any true momentum – like OpenID.

"Imagine being able to post a message on Facebook to "@janedoe@twitter" and then seeing Jane receive the message in real time on Twitter. It's a vision comparable to being able to call any telephone number, whether it's part of your phone provider's network or not."
