Glad to see an update from them—sounds like they're doing work. They've got a lot more to do in the months ahead, and I'm looking forward to following along.
As an aside, it's interesting to see how similar their message passing protocol is to one I'm beginning to plan out, though for a completely different application. Kinda like a "push to origin; fetch from origin" (from git).
EDIT: And hmm, every time Diaspora comes up, people start to say something about a "hype cycle" or something. I don't really know what that is, but it's rather obnoxious.
How about we don't take every mention of Diaspora as an invitation to count the ways they're sure to fail; because of the hypecycle or motorhyper or the gnarly-toothed funderrazer…etc.
To me, this is an interesting update about a curious project. Keep it going!
- pvg 16y agoHow can you tell it's obnoxious if you don't know what it means? Easy to find out, though - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle You might find it inaccurate or otherwise useless but it hardly seems obnoxious. As to assessing Diaspora's chances of success - it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do, especially in a forum of technology-, product- and business-focused people. It's Hacker News, not Cheerleader News, after all. Just because a reasoned analysis might be negative doesn't mean it's cynical.
