Can New York University (NYU) students take on Harvard, Stanford and Silicon Valley? Take a look Diaspora: Anti-Facebook social network site coming soon | Metro.co.uk
Diaspora is planned to be an open source alternative to Facebook, the dominant social networking portal which was started at Harvard, and now is headquartered in Silicon Valley in the town of Palo Alto, right next to Stanford University.
As a Stanford Law School alum, we are always great supporters of Silicon Valley tech leadership, but we definitely also support those who are looking for a viable alternative to Facebook, which has quickly become too big for its britches and is running roughshod over the privacy of its users.
We do not think that the open source alternative is going to be serious competition, but that remains to be seen.
