I'm a massive proponent of the Distributed Social Networking Protocol concept, but since Diaspora tanked no one else seems to be picking up the mantle and Google/Yahoo/Microsoft don't look like they're going to roll out anything resembling an open SN protocol any time soon I wonder if it will ever happen.



The road to Facebook is paved with the empty user tables of dead social networks. I wouldn't give up hope just yet.


"The Global Square", "WLFriends" are possible candidates along with Diaspora.
