Distributed Facebook replacement Diaspora pledged 2x the funding it requested
The eventual Facebook replacement will look nothing like Facebook in terms of functionality. I wouldn't give a penny to a startup/project that positioned themselves against Facebook like this. Any variation of an "Open Facebook" of some sort is bound to fail.<p>Facebook's real problem is not user backlash from their privacy shortcomings, but the future of social networking in general. Some visionary will beat them to the future while they are busy milking the status quo.<p>This is not visionary, sorry.
