It didn’t look like it was quite up & running yet. Or am I mistaken? Something more private than FB is sounding MUCH better at the moment….

Is anyone using Diaspora yet? I have been seeing it pop up a lot in film stuff and thought I’d see if it was something you’re all looking into or not…apparently a better/more private version of Facebook developed by 4 NYU early 20’s grad students… Hope all is well – love to hook up at ALA!
