Is Diaspora too late?
- jdp23 16y agowow, two posts with the "is it too late" theme. looks like a meme in the making. it's worth reading but i'm not sure i agree with this article's basic framing: "The real question is how Diaspora might seek to monetize itself, without creating the privacy trips that some say tripped up Facebook." well they raised $200K early this year and i'm sure they could raise more easily enough so i'm not convinced that monetization is the most important question right how. what i'm looking at is more things like will it be usable enough for a broad population of users? have they hit a sweet spot in functionality or at least a MVP? can they make progress on security? how will they interact with the community? focusing too much on monetization prematurely could get in the way of addressing those issues.
