Will be interesting to follow Diaspora; I think all the publicity could increase their chance to build something big. But I think their motto/tagline needs a serious rework (it would already help to cut out the "do-it-all"):
"The privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all, open source social network."
Yeah, I agree. Anytime you start saying that your software can "do-it-all" you're bound to run into problems. I still can't see how this has mass public appeal--anyone outside the HN/tech scene isn't even going to understand 1% of what any of that shit means.
