Wirebird "tagline"

Okay, I'm trying to make business cards to drum up some interest among 
developers when we go to YAPC::NA, and I'm trying to come up with a 
slogan or "tagline".

The name of the software is "Wirebird."  Our visual theme is a flock of 
birds on telephone wires, for what it's worth.

The aim of the software is to break down technological barriers that 
divide communities on the net...  the Fudge List and the Unofficial 
Fudge Forum, for instance, are separated not by interest, but entirely 
by preferred technology.  Wirebird bridges three major discussion group 
technologies...  email, web forums, and NNTP.  (And it throws in 
RSS/Atom for kicks.)

These are the ideas I'm tossing about:

"Community without boundaries"

Succicent and catchy, but kind of vague.  It's not even clear we're 
talking about online communities.

"Because your community shouldn't be divided by protocols"

Much clearer, but it's kind of long and clunky.  "protocols" suggests 
that we're talking software, so it helps provide context.

Karen wanted to say "Because web forums suck," but I'm not sure that'll 
fly. :)

The back of the busines card will have a brief description of what 
Wirebird does, but the tagline has to get their attention.

Thoughts on these, or other possible suggestions?

"Unifying discussion"

"One service for every user"


That's all I can come up with at 5am; maybe something better will hit me 
when I actually wake up.  :p
