[link]More info on Diaspora*:
[link]I would describe Diaspora as a mix of Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and We♥It.
Diaspora is the Privacy Aware Open Source Social Network that puts you in control of your information.
Instead of routing all exchanges through a central clearinghouse, Diaspora* users would set up their own nodes, storing their information locally.
Sign up for a Diaspora* account, and your posts can easily be imported into Tumblr, Twitter, and even Facebook. In the early stages of its use, Diaspora* can function as a social aggregator, bringing together feeds from various other platforms. The idea is that this lowers the barriers to joining the network, and as more of your friends join, you no longer need to bounce communications through Facebook. Instead, you can communicate directly, securely, and without running exchanges past the prying eyes of Zuckerberg and his business associates.
Gimme the link to your profile so I can add you!
