Facebook-style Statuses (Microblog)

Provides streams of status updates like Twitter or Facebook's "wall" feature: each user/node/group/taxonomy term/whatever can have a "stream" or microblog where users can express their thoughts to the community. @mentions and #hashtags are supported, as well as comments on status updates, viewing conversations between users, the ability to "like"/"reply" to/RT a message, automatic updates without page refreshing, and integration with over 25 modules.

Facebook-style Statuses is moving to the Statuses namespace for Drupal 7+.

Statuses are not nodes, which keeps everything light and quick.

Notes

This module is not affiliated with Facebook in any way.

You can get the status update box to grow automatically like on Facebook by downloading the jQuery Autogrow plugin and putting it in your site's libraries folder (typically sites/all/libraries -- if that folder doesn't exist, you can create it).
