Diaspora
http://joindiaspora.com/ Diaspora ..... Facebook alternative Diaspora aims to be a distributed network, where totally separate computers connect to each other directly, will let us connect without surrendering our privacy. We call these computers ‘seeds’. A seed is owned by you, hosted by you, or on a rented server. Once it has been set up, the seed will aggregate all of your information: your facebook profile, tweets, anything. We are designing an easily extendable plugin framework for Diaspora, so that whenever newfangled content gets invented, it will be automagically integrated into every seed. |

Social Networking More Important Than Family
http://library.teachingtimes.com/articles/family-time-survey_010610.htm Social Networking More Important Than Family Many of the children in the UK found technology and social networking more important than other aspects of life, including their family, according to a new poll of eight to 15-year-olds for National Family Week. It found 40% of girls identified Facebook as one of the most important things in their lives - compared with 6% of boys. The study, which surveyed 3,000 parents and 1,000 children across the UK, reveals parents overestimate the role they play in their child's life. |

Social Technographics
http://bit.ly/9ud1Op Social Technographics Social Technographics, a way to analyze your market's social technology behavior. Social Technographics was carefully constructed, not as a segmentation, but as a profile (that is, the groups overlap). That's because the actual data told me that people participate in multiple behaviors, and not everyone at a higher level on the ladder actually does everything in the lower rungs. We use the metaphor of a ladder ... |

Spreadsheeted Comparison of Ning Alternatives
http://bit.ly/d49guI Spreadsheeted Comparison of Ning Alternatives "Grou.ps hands down wins this battle and is a serious contender that could rival Ning even if Ning kept it's free accounts. Spruz and SocialGo are good alternatives for small groups that do not need to share files. For discussion Spruz and SocialGo are probably the best alternatives in this group. Mixxt was also a good alternative but the administrative interface is not as nice as Grou.ps nor were their templates very visually appealing." |
