Diaspora targeting Facebook

Recently, I sent a request to access this Facebook-like social networking application. A diaspora (from Greek διασπορά, "scattering, dispersion"[1]) which clearly define its type. This free software personal webserver is a distributed social networking service that aims to decentralize social networking services like Facebook. The project is currently under development by Dan Grippi, Maxwell Salzberg, Raphael Sofaer, and Ilya Zhitomirskiy student from New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

What is Diaspora?

Diaspora is the social network that puts you in control of your information. You decide what you’d like to share, and with whom. You retain full ownership of all your information, including friend lists, messages, photos, and profile details.

Share what you want, with who you want.
