Feeling Zuckerpunchd? Ditch Facebook and use Tonido
Tweet by Tonido User: Feeling Zuckerpunch'd? Ditch Facebook and use something like Tonido to privately share your photos and files with your friends.
What do you guys think?

- hga 16y agoWhy should we trust Tonido or any other such site? Yes, given Facebook's history and its top dog's demonstrated ethical ... limitations, many companies will likely be better, but.... I guess one thing I'm wondering is that for those who take the step of removing themselves from Facebook, has the latter already poisoned the well? To take that further, I and many others have removed ourselves from Facebook not because we've been harmed but out of principle and/or we can see that this is unlikely to come to a good end and we want no part of it. What happens when "regular" users start leaving because of actual harm? How much will that poison the well?

- hga 16y agoSounds technically very hard, especially at scale. I guess we can wait and see if they or someone else pulls it off.
- DennisP 16y agoWhat do you see as the main challenges? Seems to me that with, eg., XMPP plus GPG, you've already got the core functions up and running in a very scalable way. Publish your public keys with Webfinger.
- pkghost 16y agoDude. The concept fundamentally side-steps the issue of scaling by turning each user's computer into a server: http://tonido.com/images/tonido_cloud.png http://tonido.com/images/tonido_cloud.png Tonido looks like iApache* + dynamic DNS for those whose IPs aren't static. * I imagine iApache as an Apple-like approach to a personal web server.
