ReShouts.com (Beta) is a microblogging service mainly built for Digg.com users so they can fill the void of not having the Digg.com Shout Feature. The problem with using Twitter or Facebook to share their digg submissions is that many users do not want to. They have different social networks and don't like to mix them. They also built a friends list on Digg.com simply based on the shared interest of popular topics, and nothing else.
Users post short (140 character) notices which are broadcast to their friends and fans using the Web, RSS, or instant messages.
If you'd like to try it out, first register a new account. Then, on the public timeline, enter your message into the textbox at the top of the page, and click "Send". It will go out on the public timeline and to anyone who is subscribed to your notices (probably nobody, at first).
To subscribe to other people's notifications, go to their profile page and click the "subscribe" button. They'll get a notice that you're now subscribed to their notifications, and, who knows?, they might subscribe back.
