Compelling alternative for Facebook in the making

Lately Facebook has taken a lot of flack — and rightfully so — for its abysmal approach to customer privacy. Left and right pundits are advising people to quit Facebook …without naming alternatives.

All of this might change if the guys behind Diaspora* get their project off the ground.
Their decentralised approach to creating social networks could be the thing people are waiting for.

I’m certainly intrigued by their ideas and will keep an eye on what their doing.
