Diaspora Project proposes the creation of a Social Network and Open Source distributed but in this case, the information the users themselves would stay (each hostearía or outsource the hosting and manage its own information) in an attempt to maintain control over your own information ...
Shortly after writing my note ' you have in Google's (or the price of ambition) ', which proposed to build a distributed social network delivering content, reduced to a minimum (the data) and therefore meaningless in various enterprises SMEs thus avoiding having to fall into unhappy partnerships like Google with Microsoft's NSA or the CIA, a friend (William Gette) I said that a group of American students was facing a similar project called Diaspora.
The Diaspora Project proposes the creation of a Social Network and Open Source distributed but in this case, the information the users themselves would stay (each hostearía or outsource the hosting and manage its own information) an attempt to maintain control over proprietary information, the network would use a standard protocol, free for encryption of information transferred and would be allowed, its users, recover your data already housed in other Social Networks (Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, etc) and migrate to Diaspora without much effort. Media prevailing
given enough handle the project, I believe, motivated more by hitting Facebook that share the project idea (I already said in my previous note where the anger comes with Facebook ) and but hoped to raise $ 10,000 to begin the project, have collected just over $ 200,000 selling certain bonds ranging from 5 USD to almost $ 2,000 to about 6,500 users who saw the site and were interested in the project and get some benefits in return your vote of confidence.
Analyzing the available information on the project (they will not believe it is a lot) share 100% the idea of \u200b\u200bdeveloping open source Distributed Social Network, but otherwise, in the present context, I think the project has many weaknesses that lead to failure in the short or medium term (do not come to claim me if it is a success 5 years from now or evolve the idea of \u200b\u200bthe project).
The time we have been working in IT projects will know that giving cycles: the first computer networks consisting of a server or mainframe gross containing information and several dumb terminals that had access to it, then came the personal computer and information began to distribute, finally simplify mobile technology for generation of information (photos, videos, sound files, etc.), and people going by staying out of disk space is returned to the current scheme, very similar to that of mainframes and dumb terminals ( Social Network would act as the server, and we agree that netbooks are pretty much a dumb terminal). Thus, entering the next cycle, the idea of \u200b\u200bDiaspora would be very good but in the current cycle, there seems to be, although storage costs have dropped to become almost negligible compared to the costs of transfer are precisely transfer costs which remain high and if the idea is to share information, it would need to spend a ticket transfer rate.
The proposal of these students would be the end users as customers and act as a server at a time or to outsource the hosting (now very expensive for an end user, unless the providers start offering services to end users at a price appropriate to use the service), the idea that the end-user machines are the servants of this social network seems a little childish, an end user does not implement security best practices commonly used by companies (regular backups , hardware firewall, the Using a UPS to ensure the continuity of electric service or something as basic as not to install the messenger on a server), it tends to leave your machine running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Imagine watching a movie that a friend went to the net and cut 10 minutes before completion because our friend went to bed or you went off, or you have a connection of 5 Mb and our friend a 512 Kb or that both have a 5 MB connection but our friend came up with the complete saga download Lost ...
conclusion, I welcome the start to find alternatives to Corporate Social Networks and I agree that the way is the distribution of both information providers and, after butchering to remove their meaning making isolated facts, consider that suppliers should continue to companies, both SMEs forming cooperatives or the same corporations but regulated and limited by the state but not as a member of the Corporation (dividing the spoils) but as a regulator to create a legal framework for protecting the user and information.
