FUNcube-1 ZDNET article
Journalist David Meyer interviewed AMSAT-UK's Jim Heck G3WGM for an article on the FUNcube-1 satellite being built by AMSAT-UK volunteers.
School students will be able to send, via a moderator, 'Fitter' (as in 'FUNcube Twitter') messages of 200 characters to the CubeSat.
FUNcube-1 will then transmit them on the 1200 bps BPSK beacon.

The satellite will carry a 435 to 145 MHz linear transponder for SSB
and CW communications.
