What is StatusNet Cloud Hosting?

With Steadfast Networks’ StatusNet cloud hosting services, we’ve given our customers a microblogging service for businesses. But what does that mean? And how is it different from any other kind of microblogging service?

Have you ever wanted to create a private microblogging service? StatusNet makes it possible to develop a secure, customized social network that uses the same basic principles of Twitter – but customized for your organization. With StatusNet, you can build a microblogging system behind your network's firewall, making it accessible only by your business. It's a great way to boost employee collaboration without sacrificing company productivity.

StatusNet will be familiar to anyone who knows how to use Twitter – the service offers the use of familiar features, like hashtags and TinyURLs. It's even possible to allow cross-posting with Twitter or integration with Facebook, and the software is also compatible with geolocation and maps. StatusNet incorporates other social network features like profiles, groups, and content sharing to more easily foster a sense of community among your employees. And the open-source nature of StatusNet allows for a wide variety of user-created plugins to further customize your system.

Above all, StatusNet prioritizes information security and provides the capability to run completely behind your network's firewall, preventing access by the public internet and keeping your company’s information private. You'll have complete control over the system's functionality and settings. If you're looking for a secure social networking system that will enhance your employees' sense of connection while boosting productivity, StatusNet is the perfect application for you.
