Diaspora: open source social networking program

Diaspora's beta is out now, but the first official version is scheduled to be out in October.

A comment on TechCrunch might clear up what Diaspora will be: "The point here is choice. Diaspora, Status.net, Cliqset and Google Buzz are the first of what will be a large number social services focused on federated social communication and interoperability. We want users to be able to select a service that's right for *them* without worrying about sacrificing connectivity to their friends, family and colleagues on other services."

This, I predict, is the wave of the future. Commercial social networking like facebook will gradually be replaced by open source networks that can interact with each other. You can find a "home" on the network that fits you best and still be connected to friends on other networks.
