The difference between Social Network and shouts nonsense

not surprising that after OpenSocial see the light of the second major project to provide the API that allows developers to integrate their applications in a context of social networking, that most of you may know as the Diaspora. Just look at what Facebook has become, the network created by Mark Zuckerberg, who has become a social utility where publish all sorts of nonsense thereby obscuring - in part - the primary function for which, in theory, such an instrument must exist: make smart masses who are stupid by definition . Its power lies in its reputation, earned through both technical and functional merits, and is still used for more noble purposes of the whole world to know that "I'm hot when I pull out the pin from the deck." Newspapers and citizens, for example, use it as a megaphone to inform or scream their outrage that would otherwise not find another place to be heard by a wide audience.

The metamorphosis was possible, in my opinion, even sacrosanct due to introduction of new technical tools, such as the parser link that allows you to copy a simple link to share a snapshot with ease. This has encouraged the spread like wildfire all kinds of amenities, It is also the reason why Social netowrks who have retained their embryonic basic functionality, all on Twitter, have been used in widely lower this process or have not suffered at all. Write crap in micropost of 140 characters is one thing, to do that by posting any kind of media is another.

Another cause of the degeneration is aggregation. Think about it: the point where anyone, even completely fast elementary familiarity with computers, can create platforms such as blogs or personal sites - and this is good - Facebook has made it almost unnecessary these tools - and this is bad - except in particular cases. The reason, again, is very technical because other pre-existing social networks like MySpace had failed in that attempt. Case in point: this post is published on my blog , but not if it will spin no . The note generated from Facebook with RSS instead be seen as a minimum, over 300 people, which however does not bother to visit the blog. In this way, no need for giving priority to the summary content - not in the case of the notes but the link you posted - and there is more space for the study.

So as I see I well be open source projects that can give tools that work sharing between applications and not instead of them.
