StatusNet (formerly Laconica[2]) was a free open-source microblogging application written in PHP, implementing the OStatus standard for interoperation between installations. While offering functionality similar to Twitter, StatusNet sought to provide the potential for open, inter-service and distributed communications between microblogging communities, allowing enterprises and individuals to install and control their own services and data.[3][4]

Product history

StatusNet was originally called "Laconica," a reference to the Laconic phrase, a particularly concise or terse statement the likes of which are famously attributed to the leaders of Sparta (Laconia being the Greek region containing Sparta).[5] In microblogging, since all messages are forced to be very short due to the ~140 character limit on message size, thus they are all de facto laconic phrases.

On August 28, 2009, Laconica was renamed to StatusNet coinciding with the release of version 0.8.1 (aka "Second Guessing") of the StatusNet software.[2] Of the new name, developer Even Prodromou said it "simply reflects what our software does: send status updates into your social network."[2]

Version 0.9.0, released March 3, 2010, added support for OStatus, a new distributed update standard superseding OpenMicroBlogging.[6]

Version 1.0.0 was released on September 30, 2011.[7]

On December 18, 2012, Prodromou announced the end of StatusNet, to be replaced by a new company name E14N and product pump.io. StatusNet services were expected to be shut off completely by February 1, 2013.[8]
