hello. you look good today.
welcome to the future home of daisychain — a social network that you can control.
why are we making daisychain? well, like many of us, we've used several different social sites over the years. from orkut, to friendster, to myspace and now facebook. yet, when a new site appears, and everyone flocks to use it, your contacts are left behind, as well as a significant amount of your private and personal information.
while we were building libre.fm, Matt Lee was already thinking about this problem — social networks should be evolving, they should allow you to control what you put into them, and you should be able to keep control of your own data, including running the same software that daisychain uses, on your own website.
the web itself is already somewhat social in this regard. emerging standards like FoAF already handle some of the basics for a better way to control your contacts, and daisychain can add some fun features of its own.
php runs on virtually any web hosting provider we can think of. we recommend suhosin for added security.
development of daisychain is happening right now, and the early stages of the system are built, as the GNU social project.
if trips to boston are out of your league, join us for semi-real time chatting, and/or mailing list based discussions about the project. it's a great way to get involved, tell us your ideas and for us to put more ideas into our project plan.
we don't have a project plan.
daisychain is a project of FooCorp released under the GNU AGPL version 3.0 (or later versions, if you so desire).
