Is Diaspora in the game?

Social networking has gone miles ahead and is now considered as an essential means of communication.

Facebook has redefined the way of communicating and knowing each other. Many like "MySpace" have also done it before, but the concept of "wall", "relationship status" and "whats in my mind?" has made it more interesting than any others.

People, corporates now view Facebook as a means of collaboration in the whole gamut of communications.

Well, Now to add to the list of social networking sites, "Diaspora" which is more open (open standard ) as of now is all set to redefine social networking, promising what others have failed to give yet.

An Article which talks about the same:

Though the author talks about Diaspora as the one which is calm, segregative enough etc, I still will be eager to watch, how would the privacy promise, make a demanding appeal to the majority. Well it may, but would be really challenging.

Fingers crossed for Diaspora...
