StatusReport: ABC News Radio on StatusNet, Blog World Expo & Sharism Conference.

Over the past week, we released a StatusNet Customer Survey in order to get to know what our customers think of our software and we had a presence at the Blog World Expo. The release that we are most excited about is that about ABC News Radio and how they are using StatusNet's services to reach their public.

ABC News Radio launches abcnewsradio.fm on the StatusNet cloud

I'm personally excited to note that one of my favorite projects in development on the StatusNet Cloud is now open for public use.  abcnewsradio.fm is the microblogging service of ABC News Radio, one of the most trusted sources for news and information in the US. The launch of abcnewsradio.fm means that listeners and fans will be able to get information from the service over multiple channels, including the federated social web.

First-ever StatusNet Customer Survey

Thousands of people download the StatusNet software each month. Thirty-two thousand have signed up for a cloud service account on status.net. That's a treasure trove of experience with our software, and we'd like to use that collective experience to make our product, and our business, more responsive to users' needs.
