The fact that Diaspora have gotten all that attention actually suggests that they have better odds to succeed - the biggest obstacles to a Facebook replacement

The fact that Diaspora have gotten all that attention actually suggests that they have better odds to succeed - the biggest obstacles to a Facebook replacement aren't technical, after all, but social. They're starting by giving themselves a human face, just like MySpace did.

In my experience I have not seen a correlation between meda hype and success.

  Attention is the indicator that they're doing something right socially; it itself is not the victory.

    Much of the attention they are getting is down to timing. The real trick is to find a way to sustain attention until they actually deliver something.
