Disapora is a new social network that does not have the privacy problems of FB/G+/Twitter.
Here is an an excerpt from an article about it
It is in alpha right now (not a whole lot of functionality). I signed up on the list early, and got in a week or so ago. It looks good.Diaspora is open-source software that duplicates the functions of a social network like Facebook while ensuring that users retain full control and ownership of everything they share on the network; instead of first uploading photos to Facebook and then choosing who gets to see them, Diaspora users can simply share photos directly with each other without having to go through a corporate middleman or agree to a company privacy policy.
There is no central Diaspora network or Website; since the Diaspora code is freely available online, anyone with a server handy can host a Diaspora server that you can join. The software is still in development, but an alpha version is already available and several Diaspora servers are already operational. These servers (known as “pods”) allow registered users to store data (like mail and photos) and maintain their own personal profile. Every pod is different: Some are invite-only, some have space limits, and some are more secure than others. You can even host your own Diaspora pod to retain absolute control of your online identity. It’s like living in your own private Idaho (on the Internet.)
If anyone wants an invite, send me a PM with an email address you want to use for this. I'd like to see a strong RP presence there, and imagine many members here who stay away from FB/G+/Tw will be able to expand their reach without sacrificing their privacy
Onward!
