Hi Olga,
There are open source projects that can be installed on a server to run
your own social network. To name
some http://www.elgg.org, http://status.net/. There is also the
http://www.mysociety.org/ though they seem
not to support openid (http://openid.net/). This is in my eyes one of
the critical aspects of good social
networking software as this enables the free flow of information between
competing? social networks. However,
the most important thing is that a social network has to be actively
used by many people. I think this is the real
challenge for every alternative provider (and also the bills that have
to be paid for server (maintenance) and data
transfer once it's used big time).

It's been a while that I'm looking for some sort of alternative to
Facebook.
I never liked the idea of signing up to Facebook but I started to feel
a bit
jealous of its advantages. I recently heard about this Spanish open
platform
N-1: https://n-1.cc/
I'd be interested in hearing from other platforms like this.. Does
anyone know
about any??
