A lot of bad PR for facebook recently. Its drawing a lot of protests on the privacy issues that are raised after it introduced new feature where non-facebook website posts views on facebook users without their consent.
Well, 4 smart and young talented programmers from NYU are taking a challenge to build an open source collaboration platform which will give users control of their own data while enjoying facebook like collaboration.
Right now, these 4 boys are raising money on Kickstarter (as of May 13, they have already raised $124,085) and promising to build the software over summer. Diaspora as claimed on their website -
the privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all distributed open source social network
I have not contributed myself yet, but I think I will and will be watching closely, what the buzz it creates. Will you?
