Recent Mentions of StatusNet

In a The Next Web interview with Tara Hunt, when asked which Canadian companies we should be on the look out for, Tara responded "... I’m impressed with Tungle.me right now (fellow Montrealers) and Status.net is killing it (more Montrealers – they are being used widely as self-hosted Twitter solutions, brilliant)... I think the Canadian startup community is full of potential in general. There will be many of us grabbing attention worldwide in no time."
