What's FreeBird
FreeBird is a microblog system based on NXT blockchain. It is decentralized.


FreeBird vs Twitter.com
Twitter.com is centralized. Data is stored in the cloud. Website will be inaccessible for ISP or DNS problems.
FreeBird is decentralized. Data is stored in nxt blockchain. It runs anywhere with the blockchain.

Being decentralized means that no one is able to shut it down, as there is no single point to attack.

In twitter.com, administrators could delete tweets or forbid accounts if they want.
In FreeBird , there is no administrator, no one can delete your messages except yourself.

Twitter.com is free, but there is ads in it.
FreeBird use tiny fees to publish messages, there is no ads.

Let's tweet just like a free bird!


FreeBird fees
It's free to login and view tweets in browser.
But it consume NXT fee to publish your tweets into blockchain.
FreeBird will merge several tweets into one transaction to save NXT fee.
And each tweet also consume 1 FBC (FreeBird coin) . This helps reduce junk messages.
