You all must be already aware of open source Facebook alternative called Diaspora. I have been using it for a month now and I am really starting to like it. Now a lot of people ask me what's so special about Diaspora, what makes it different. For that, you need to watch this "introduction to Diaspora" video by the inventors of the idea themselves.
