Four students from NYU are working towards building a new social networking site, Diaspora, “an open source personal web service that will put individuals in control of their data”. Should sharing information while maintaining privacy be such a problem to solve? Their network is aimed to allow someone with their own web server within a large network, being fully controlled and owned by the user. Seems like the key word to this is own.
Their original goal was to raise $10,000 in one month by June 1st; this was done in half its time. Even more, the team reached $100,000 with 2,300 supporters. This definitely raises question on how much do people really dislike Facebook. And if, they do, why are they still on the platform?
