"Diaspora has grown into something more than just a project four guys
started in their office at school. It is bigger than any one of us, the
money we raised, or the code we have written. It has developed into
something that people all over the world care about and are inspired by.
We think the time is right to reflect this reality, and put our code
where our hearts lie.
Today, we are giving control of Diaspora to the community."
It will be interesting to see how an originally small group effort gets turned into a crowd-sourced effort. I look forward to the day that Diaspora replaced Facebook.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
