Today marks the official launch of the StatusNet Cloud Service (SCS) Beta.

SCS allows anyone to quickly and easily generate a status update site at status.net. Users have three types of plans to choose from, when setting up: single-user, community, or private. The recent StatusNet 0.9 server software release has provided the basis for this public Beta. Fabricatorz.com was involved in the development of StatusNet Cloud Service.

A key aspect of SCS is it's incorporation of the OStatus standard, that lets people follow each other across various social networks.

CEO and founder of StatusNet, Evan Prodromou, says this of SCS:

With StatusNet Cloud Service, we're providing a powerful simple solution that fits the needs of individuals and organizations on both the public and private Web. StatusNet Cloud Service provides all users an unprecedented level of configuration over updates, connecting to different networks with OStatus, controlling brand and image, while allowing connections to different social networks.
