The Twitter developers decided to develop an alternative microblog named rstat.us. Rstat.us also has a service that exchange data with status.net which is an open source Twitter like service with an enterprise focus.

The simple microblog has a number of functions. People can follow other people, place comments, post an update and read others update. It is also integrated with Facebook and Twitter, so it is possible to log in with either of those accounts. Furthermore, there are two things that make rstat.us special: simplicity and openness. The interface is simple and easy to understand and for anyone is the programming code that makes up rstat.us available to download free of charge.
