Diaspora, the free network


Today we speak of Diaspora, an Open Source network being created by four students from the University of New York. A very interesting project that managed to raise a whopping $ 200,000 in its infancy.

Diaspora Project created in response to Facebook or other social networks where we are not masters of our privacy. It's something that alert and we know, but, however Facebook is one of the major social networks in the world who use people and businesses to promote themselves. Normal if it is concentrated the majority of users. A similar case to what happened in the 80's with Richard Stallman : sought to create a completely free operating system to the situation of those times where all operating systems were proprietary. In this case, applied to social networks. Already

free social networks, a famous example is Identi.ca (microblogging), except that it is free all the content that is published, unless they are paying users, who can choose the license notifications.

Diaspora is a decentralized network consisting "seeds" or "pods" controlled by the user, which installs on your machine or server hired, and only you can access it and who share it. works without intermediaries, so that our privacy be borne solely at our expense.

The project can monitor from the official web and from the Diaspora News blog * . By now closed the registration applications, but still you can try putting your email in case you drop any invitation. What is possible is to install a server with Diaspora on our team and begin testing. Here are the installation instructions.
