Currently there is no FB alternative. There will be eventually. There is nothing that I can think of that has no alternative. Even Google has Bing which is viable. FB has none.
- thomasahle 11y agoOnly if you want everything integrated. I think that was OP's point.
- x5n1 11y agoGoogle failed at social because of integration. Integration can be as much of a turn off as a lock in. Also I wish facebook would stop stalking me with you have more friends than you think messages.
- tim333 11y agoThere are lots of alternatives technically speaking - G+, Diaspora, Ello and others. Socially though FB is probably where your friends and family are.
- Animats 11y agoRead 'More Awesome Than Money,' by Jim Dwyer. It's a history of Diaspora. It was technically OK, but had no use case. Here's something that might work. FratNet. Get major fraternities and sororities at a big party school to use Diaspora nodes. The pitch is that the frat controls who can get on, and there's no snooping by Facebook. Expand this to frats nationally, creating a big distributed network of frat members, and, over time, alumni.
