Open-Facebook Competitor Diaspora

The Diaspora project aims to create a social network that puts users in charge of their own data — or as Diaspora puts it, a “privacy-aware, personally controlled, do-it-all open source social network.”

Diaspora was started by four New York University students earlier this year after hearing a talk from Free Software guru Eben Moglen, who said Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg had done more harm to the world than anyone his age ever had.

Diaspora’s idea of taking on the social network giant gained momentum and wide publicity in the spring, following yet another controversial Facebook attempt to make users share more information publicly.
