I agree with most of that, but why are you keen on G+? It was never open and never amenable to self-hosting or anything like that. It was just a Facebook clone

I agree with most of that, but why are you keen on G+? It was never open and never amenable to self-hosting or anything like that. It was just a Facebook clone (arguably a little bit different now). Going further back a year or two, I think Google Wave was going to allow self-hosting. But of course that sank with barely a trace.

> but why are you keen on G+? It is just the only viable alternative with major commercial backing for now. Twitter could have been but they are too busy painting themselves into the corner. Old Google at least could be crazy enough to do whatever it takes just to kick Facebook where it hurts. But I'm dreaming. (Oh and don't underestimate how much I love it just because of all the haters that hang around here :-P)
