Description of Laconica

StatusNet (formerly Laconica) is an open source microblogging server written in PHP that implements the OpenMicroBlogging standard for interoperation between installations. While offering functionality similar to Twitter, Laconica seeks to provide the potential for open, inter-service and distributed communications between microblogging communities. Enterprises and individuals can install and control their own services and data.

Laconica was renamed to StatusNet coinciding with the release of the release of version 0.8.1 (aka "Second Guessing") of the Laconica software.

Some features include:
* Updates using a Jabber or Gtalk client, and probably any other XMPP client
* OpenID authentication
* Supports Federation, which provides the ability to subscribe to notices by users on a remote service through the OpenMicroBlogging protocol
* SMS updates and notifications
* A Twitter-compatible API
* Hashtags
* Multilingual interface (using Gettext)
* Cross-posting to Twitter
* Facebook integration
* Groups
* Automatic URL-shortening
