I attached a patch (to r349) that decouples the UI from twitter 95% and 
connects Witty to Identi.ca instead of Twitter.  
I am looking for suggestions from people as to how to change the UI to 
enable users to connect to both services.

The hyperlinks to users that are embedded in the tweet are not converted 
because I don't know how best to reach out of the TweetTextBlock and get 
the service Url.  Any suggestions?

Could this be rolled into a seperate distribution?  It could be called something 
like WLaconica.

It could be done as a seperate product.  I thought of the name Witica.  However I 
personally would rather Witty be able to read from multiple services like Gwibber 
(https://launchpad.net/gwibber/)

I was able to successfully patch Witty r349 with Darrel Miller's Identi.ca patch and
it is running fine in retrieving all my/my contacts' identi.ca messages. Most of the
UI doesn't yet apply to Identi.ca, found bugs pretty early in the run and also
received a few exceptions (in Identi.ca patch code) every now and then when running
from Visual C# IDE; as proof-of-concept, this is a great patch.
