Re: [ubuntu-uk] Diaspora hash

2011-09-27 Thread Steve Fisher
I think they were too slow out of the blocks.  A couple of days ago I
offered my FB friends an invite, take up rate - zero.

I think if Diaspora was used correctly, we could turn it into an ad hoc
forum.

Any test # post worked.

Thanks Al,

I feel the need to join up and have a look myself, are there any more
invites available?

I suppose potentially it could be used within a company as an internal

Given the sudden influx of requests I may as well add a 'me-too' to the
request list if anyone has a spare please - and sorry for adding to the
Diaspora noise in the group recently.

Will be interesting to have a play and see just what can (and can't) be
achieved - also to whether it would have uses in closed environments
(i.e. not internet facing).

Not really. My username is po...@joindiaspora.com which is a pretty
sucky username to be honest.

The idea of a federated system is you could setup your own diaspora
instance, and call yourself whatever you like.

So I could register a domain and be a...@familypopey.com or something
nice and short if I choose. I could keep that to just my family. Or I
could in theory allow other people on it. Registering at
Joindiaspora.com just means you have a presence _there_ it doesn't
have to be your Canonical presence or indeed your only one.

Likewise. As much as I begged the OSW developers they wouldn't fix
this, which is why I was never able to run it on my server. Having an
open protocol needlessly tied to a single implementation is not the
way to conquer the world. Unfortunately the way it was designed would
require significant code in every XMPP server.

Yeah, it looks promising - I'm currently working to make a
cross-XMPP-server backend for it. Not quite ready yet though :)

My sentiments exactly. This is kind of what drew me to OneSocialWeb,
actually - since it's based on XMPP and I already run ejabberd, I
thought the barrier to running my own server would be much lower.
Unfortunately, OSW only has an implementation based on the Java-powered
OpenFire XMPP server, and I don't currently use Java for anything else
on my server either (pretty shocking, considering I've been primarily
employed as a Java developer for most of the last 10 years!).

I've seen some comments about Diaspora-X, which seems to be Diaspora
hacked to use XMPP as a transport. Does anyone here know any more about it?

I was wondering that myself! I added myself to the waiting list a while back
though, so I'll probably get one eventually. I looked at the requirements for
running a server, but decided I didn't really want to start messing with Ruby
as there's nothing else on my server that uses it. If it had been Perl (or
PHP?!) I might have taken a closer look.

Hi,

Not sure I get it

I gave up facebook for wanting too much of me (data etc)!

Is this that different?

If so I'll sign up :)

Well there's a new effort out there called Diaspora:
http://join-diaspora.com in alpha right now with very limited numbers
of invites.

Here's my first impression: I think it might do what you wanted Buzz
to do, but it isn't tied to anyone's company. Twitter is great for
short posts and links, and very short chats. I like IRC/Jabber for text
chats over just about anything else, but it isn't easy to do drawn out
discussions spanning over several days.

If you want to give diaspora a try, let me know and maybe others who
have invites will also say hi in here as well.

Diaspora might be pretty cool, but it won't be of any interest without
a lot of like-minded people on it. Please consider joining us if

- you enjoy testing all types of things with a bunch of people (that's
why you're on this list, isn't it?)
- you are willing to log in once a day for a while to try to help us
get momentum
- you are willing to try to get others in via your (currently) 5 invites.

When you first get in to diaspora, you have two Aspects. These are
simple groups of people, "work" and "family". I created one I call
Geeks where most of you would be. If you like diaspora, you can try and
drag your family in from Facebook.

Personally, I like diaspora as a discussion platform, but it isn't
rich like FB. Because it's simple though, you can post to your groups
and discuss with them. The down side is that it's yet another site to
log in on.

I have a few invites left if anyone wants thinks they want be willing to
give it a try and I was hoping that other people with invites might also
be willing to donate a few to interested parties.

Cheers,
