The notion of "another social network" doesn't really excite me at all. That being said, I do like the approach they're taking and if everyone just sat on their asses and didn't challenge the big guys, things would never change. The security flaws and the like from the alpha release (or was it beta?) disappoint me a bit too and I wonder how long it will take to have a viable product that can compete with Facebook and if they're capable. Overall, though, I think new social networks need to fill some sort of niche to be successful and I only see Diaspora as an easier to control general network. Not enough of a reason to switch from Fbook or get excited, at least not this early.
