But you're still using Twitter, which (a) helps them and (b) gives your tweeps no extra incentive to leave.

If you made your stuff available only using a browser plugin that added your microposts to people's feeds, it would help make your open protocols go viral.

Wouldn't making my content available via a browser plugin that shows it on twitter.com still do exactly the thing you're talking about, not giving my tweeps a reason to stop visiting Twitter?

  But then they literally have to visit Twitter to see it. I still think it's a cool idea and would help me stay in touch with more people but it still seems like only half a solution.

  No. They'd have to install the plugin, which demonstrates that the content actually resides elsewhere, outside of Twitter's control.
