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.

Four New Themes on the StatusNet Cloud Service
Posted 2 years 36 weeks ago

One of the things that makes StatusNet such a fun project to work on is getting it into the hands of other Web developers and seeing what they do with it. I'm especially interested in creative UIs for the software. I'm happy to say that we have some new themes available on the StatusNet Cloud Service available to all users.
Site owners can change their theme by going to the Admin menu (linked from the top of the page) to the Design admin panel. The theme chooser is in the middle of the panel!
