I have started a micro-blogging site. My intention isn't really to make money (it's mainly a hobby) as I know Twitter has dominated that area.
My site does offer some features that Twitter doesn't such as XMPP support etc. which some people will find useful.
Please can you tell me what you like or don't like so I can hopefully improve the site. It was built using the open-source software StatusNet.
Thanks.

You could start by making it more aesthetically pleasing.

You need flash installed to make it look good.
Thanks for the reply/feedback.
I would advise against a site being based on flash. I'd use HTML5 instead.
So while we're all posting our links:

No, actually I was known as Findly before they were.
The were called find.ly
You were Dillsoft last time we saw you: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1623039
Also, it doesn't matter if they were find.ly. The company was set up as Findly in 2010.
At least you appear to be building stuff from the ground up now, though
Not bad, but you should probably revisit readability dark grey text on light grey background is not stellar.
Design is a wee bit clunky and looks dated from where I'm sitting but if you built it from scratch, as opposed to a theme like last time, then it's a starting point.

Chariman_Meow and Samster have designed their sites, you have not.
I didn't say I wanted comments on my own design.
I'm using StatusNet (planning on switching to BuddyPress, so the site will go down).
Erm... that would be asking for comments on the logo and the design.
I meant the design I was using. In fact click on Findly's about pages before I take them down (switching to BuddyPress).
It clearly says powered by StatusNet, which it also says it in the footer.
So, for reference: Work on stuff you can complete, build up from there.
Look at making your whois info private (I think you should be able to do so as you're an individual and not trading... or something) as your personal details are available for all to see via your domain name.
I was also banned for 2 days. I honestly wasn't spamming.
I'll be more careful next time
