There's work going on on a free-as-in-freedom social networking system from the GNU project at the moment - http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/Group:GNU_Social it's early days so getting involved now can really help shape the project. When I mentioned the idea at Make Art last year it was something that people were really excited by, which surprised me as it was only a small part of the talk. To answer MANIK's question, people are starting to really understand the problems with Facebook holding your personal data and being able to change how much of it is made public whenever Facebook like. People want to take back control of their online social presence. So they need alternatives to Facebook, and they need alternatives that won't be just as bad if they become just as successful. This means Free Software projects. ;-) - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
