I don't think it's jealously over gimmicky funding, I think it's more along the lines of all this hype was raised, all this money was raised and we're still sitting here, sucking our thumbs to see what's supposed to happen. The launch date is in September, and so far the last update since the NY Times article was a redesign. The only technical information is that it's using Ruby, "a little bit of rails" and some "other" frameworks. This feels to me like giving a kid $0.25 for a glass of lemonade, and him telling me he'll bring it to my house after he's built his lemonade stand, bought the ingredients and actually produced a beverage.

This is exactly the state of the project unless there is a whole lot that the Diaspora team has not publicly documented. But, as far as I know, they have never stated that this was not the case. Their video made it pretty apparent they had yet to build the lemonade stand and buy the ingredients.
