An Alternative to Facebook?

dewlineI'm giving some thought to an idea proposed by Adam Hunt, an Ottawa acquaintance from National Capital FreeNet: that there are alternatives to Facebook that might suit us all much better. Mr. Hunt suggests a service(?) called Diaspora in particular, by way of the essays linked below:

Interesting, that last bit about Facebook's alleged response to Mr. Hunt's attempts to keep his friendlist there "in the loop" about his plans and actions.
Meanwhile, if any of you reading this have tried Diaspora - or any other service of like intent - I'd be equally interested in your opinions of them.
