Microblogging social networking site where users can share their status with the rest of the world
Review
Big isn't always better, and status.cafe is proof. This is a tiny microblogging plaform which allows people to post short statuses in the same vein as late 2000's Twitter. There is also a surprisingly active forum page that you can visit and post on.
