Diaspora vs Facebook

03 Dec Diaspora vs Facebook

In the spring of this year, the “Facebook alternative” Diaspora achieved extensive media coverage — including an article in the New York Times — and raised tens of thousands of dollars in funding from online donors. The pitch was an appealing one: In the midst of a privacy backlash at Facebook, Diaspora proposed a more private alternative to the leading social network. But Diaspora is no Facebook rival, and history tells us it won’t make a dent in Facebook’s success.
