Diaspora won't overtake Facebook or Google+, but it might convince them to hook into their distributed network. Especially since it's no real threat. If Diaspora can become to social networks what Trackback is to blogs, that will be enough of a success.
- jonnathanson 15y agoAgreed, though I'd like for that goal to be articulated. Vision statements like this one should have concrete visions as well as lofty goals (i.e., "building a brighter future.")
- hollerith 15y agoTangent: are trackbacks in any way a success? Do you for example know anyone who uses them or pays attention to them? Are they useful to certain softwares?
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI think they were used a bit back in blog's heyday but they're probably too complicated for most bloggers to use, and those who do tend to be spammers. So the analogy was perhaps bad. I want Diaspora to be the glue for the social internet, the way trackbacks are, albeit more elegantly.
