A Diaspora project management plug-in is a Basecamp killer, and J. Fried (=J. Afraid) knows it.
What is Facebook? A central hub. What is Basecamp? a central hub.
He did succeed to kill google chat client to make us pay for Campfire. But it was easy PR against "evil" Google. This time it will not work.
- bandushrew 16y agoLOL Given that Diaspora has yet to be written, I doubt that J. Fried is particularly quaking in his boots regarding the hypothetical creation of a hypothetical plugin using a hypothetical API to provide a hypothetical service that would hypothetically be so great as to kill Basecamp. Disclaimer: I dont use basecamp, have never used basecamp and have absolutely no idea why someone would want to kill it.
- lionshare 16y agoIf you asked MySpace/Friendster few years ago what they think about this student Zuck hacking something in the Harvard dorms, they would probably respond: LOL. What matters is the trend, and Fried is smart enough to see it. What unfair here is that he spoils it in the middle of the finance period. They got traction, they look like smart and honest guys. He can bash them one day after the finance is done. Disclaimer: I use Basecamp and I love it
- iamdave 16y agoMost successful troll in the history of HN. Give yourself a pat on the back.
- lionshare 16y agoThanks. I usually don't. Just felt it's unfair post for these Diaspora guys.
- jacquesm 16y agoThanks for playing. Slashdot misses you already, the door is --->> http://www.slashdot.org/ http://www.slashdot.org/ that way. For the record, all that Jason Frieds posting has done is give more attention to diaspora.com, and will probably result in more funding.
- lionshare 16y agoIt was not playing, but a genuine opinion, but easier to judge as troll. I believe it's not more attention but a real blow.
