While it's not yet ready to be released to the public, the open-source social networking project is giving the world a glimpse of what it looks like today and also releasing the project code, as promised. At first glance, this preview version of Diaspora looks sparse, but clean. Oddly enough, with its big pictures and stream, it doesn't look unlike Apple's new Ping music social network mixed with yes, Facebook."

Now, all they have to do is to convince 500 million people (or whatever it is FB claims today) to move over to their service that has no whistles or bells. Umm.. 1/ Build competitor 2/ Release to world 3/ ??? 4/ Complete and utter failure.
