ZdotB comes from the German word Zustandsbericht, meaning status report. At ZdotB, you basically can write status reports to your heart's content. A status report basically comes from users entering a form with their current situation. The form includes room for answers to questions such as your current mood, the weather, what you're eating, drinking, watching, listening to, reading, playing, wearing, how your health is, your apartment (?), your vacation (again ?), a quote of the day, a question of the day, and a greeting for your readers. You can also choose a pelangi (basically a smilie face that you can choose to display how you're feeling visually) and enter your mood according to a percentage. Each user gets their own page that lists all of the status reports they've ever written. If you find a particular writing interesting, you can add them as a friend to keep updated with their status reports. You can also add comments supporting or answer the questions of various readers. It's basically a far more detailed twitter/journal to keep track of how you've been and what you've been up to.
