  Diaspora: “Today we are releasing the source code for Diaspora. This is now a community project and development is open to anyone with the technical expertise who shares the vision of a social network that puts users in control. From now on we will be working closely with the community on improving and solidifying Diaspora. … Much of our focus this summer was centered around publishing content to groups of your friends, wherever their seed may live. It is by no means bug free or feature complete, but it an important step for putting us, the users, in control. Developers, our code is on github, our tracker is public, we have a developer mailing list, and we are happily accepting patches. … Feel free to try to get it running on your machines and use it, but we give no guarantees. We know there are security holes and bugs, and your data is not yet fully exportable. If you do find something, be sure to log it in our bugtracker, and we would love screenshots and browser info.”

  TC: “At first glance, this preview version of Diaspora looks sparse, but clean. Oddly enough, with its big pictures and stream, it doesn’t look unlike Apple’s new Ping music social network mixed with yes, Facebook. … But no matter what Diaspora looks like now, the point is to have many different versions hosted all over the place. Some will look different than others – so it make sense to have a simple, clean base to build off of.”

    Looks like a FB-clone on first sight, not like an alternative?

        Hm… What many people want and what Diaspora or StatusNet support, is a decentralised social network.

          Me too… but have you found any decentralised networks that are even close to offer a complete network service?

            Diaspora and StatusNet are on the right track.

            Sure they are.. but with no proof that they will ever arrive. Ask yourself why appleseed or some of the other similar projects never took off while friendster, orkut, hi5, bebo, facebook etc. etc. did.

            Diaspora is hyped because people thought they were completely innovative. But even if they were, that is far from any indication that their setup works. Again, look at appleseed.
