Diaspora* Announces It Is Now a "Community Project" 124

Posted by Unknown Lamer from the running-out-of-cash dept.
History's Coming To writes "Decentralised social network startup Diaspora* announced on their blog today that they will become a 'community project' with the intention of making it an entirely community-driven, community-run project. Whether this is a sign of the project losing impetus, or whether this will provide the push needed to challenge commercially run social networks, remains to be seen."
* If you're looking for the footnote there isn't one**, the asterisk is part of the name. Sorry, it's been a point of annoyance on /. before.

** There are two of them, nested.

    This announcement by Diaspora is like the good old Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt sub from SubWay. It's filled with delicious bacon and ranch sauce and their intention is good. However, you notice something lacking. Something different. There is chicken! The lack of good old meat (girls) is drawing attention away from Diaspora. Hell, even Google+ is losing their battle against Facebook. You have to take it with ham, man!

    Someone who blames the tools, is a worthless worker, so, sorry, can't take anything you say serious.

    Sometimes you have to call a tool a tool, and that's exactly what the Diaspora crowd are like.

    I agree. Using http://buddycloud.org/ [buddycloud.org] would certainly make most any modern software better. BuddyCloud (http://buddycloud.org/) [buddycloud.org] helps any truly talented group achieve their potential. And by putting your project on BuddyCloud (that's http://buddycloud.org/ or just type buddycloud into your browser's search tool) you could help save not just your project, but this economy as well. That's BuddyCloud (http://buddycloud.org/) [buddycloud.org] ... the cloud is your buddy.

    Browsers without AJAX issues are pretty regular...

    This is true. Lynx, for example, has no Ajax issues.

    G+ losing against facebook? maybe for the inane crowd. Certainly not for the professional crowd.

    That's right, G+ is losing against LinkedIn for the professional crowd.
