For simplicity sake I named only one system, but in fact the "massive redundancy" I reference involves ALL social networking. So the repeater system is really software platform independent in that sense. Just as it's person independent. I personally might fail to notice a plane crash right away, or maybe I'm offline for a day and miss an inbound message about an anthrax spill, but if the message hits many "pack leaders" the message will still get through. It's just like TCP/IP routing in that sense. One failure does not take the system down. Hardware, software or wetware. That’s true Bryce, IF we rely only on Twitter.

My only real concern, though, is that the medium of deployment (e.g. Twitter) is just as redundant (read: not at all) as conventional notification systems such as phones, televisions, and radio stations. One unfortunate earthquake near the Valley wipes out 90% of Web 2.0. If we can build redundancy and predictability into the process, then we definitely have an interesting idea to consider.
