Just noticing this now because of the newsletter, but I was a member of the Diaspora for a while, and the problem when trying to get someone else to use it amounted to:

'What is it?'

'Facebook, twitter, all that stuff, but you have control over your data.'

'But it takes work to understand, and I've never thought about my digital privacy once! So I'm not going to use it.'

It's the first time i've heard of it. With all this talk about privacy, I think something similar will come up in a couple of years. At least I hope so. It looks great but there is no use for it if none of my friends are on it.
