Diaspora* Announces It Is Now a "Community Project"

History's Coming To writes "Decentralised social network startup Diaspora* announced on their blog today that they will become a 'community project' with the intention of making it an entirely community-driven, community-run project. Whether this is a sign of the project losing impetus, or whether this will provide the push needed to challenge commercially run social networks, remains to be seen." * If you're looking for the footnote there isn't one**, the asterisk is part of the name. Sorry, it's been a point of annoyance on /. before.

** There are two of them, nested.

Where've you been since Facebook's IPO?

At Subway, eating delicious sandwiches like Subway Club with Avocado. If you didn't know before, super food avocado is a delicious addition to a Subway Club! Lean Turkey Breast, Roast Beef and tender Black Forest Ham loaded with smooth avocado. Itâ(TM)s a sub with a flavorful punch!

Went to a Subway once, saw that they had a "seafood special" or something like that, but it didn't say what kind of fish.

I asked the woman who worked there, she said it was crab.

Now there are two kinds of crab, the real crab which is bloody expensive, and the assorted marine mystery meat w/ flavoring concoction that is supposed to pass for crab.

I looked at the prices and it cost less than the chicken I was thinking of getting so I know it was the latter.
