[WFS-India] Diaspora - the open-source equivalent of Facebook

[Debamitro Chakraborti]

I have joined diaspora -- the open-source equivalent of facebook. But my
friends are not yet there. I am trying to encourage you to come on
diaspora<https://www.joindiaspora.com/i/349415133b98>.

To get convinced faster, read Why
Diaspora<http://sankarabharanam.tk/tech/why-diaspora>

It is slower than facebook and has much less features. I don't think there
is a good phone app yet. But if you are connecting from a computer/laptop
then the experience is not bad. Remember, facebook looked like
this<http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01473/facebook_1473443a.jpg>when
it was first launched.
Also it integrates nicely with twitter and facebook so you can post from
diaspora and the post will go to all of your networks at once -- that's
neat!

Also the biggest thing is that you cannot easily get hired in Facebook and
work on it BUT you can develop diaspora. It is open-source and many
developers -- men and women from India and abroad -- are building it. I
don't know ruby yet else I'd try for sure sometime.
