Creators behind the new Facebook rival - Diaspora - said they have placed a special focus on privacy and security, whilst giving greater power in the hands of users.

Will be interesting to see if they gain any traction considering that Facebook has already established itself with such a big following.

Nonetheless, it is always good to see healthy competition for companies that threaten to become too big and unwieldy.

I'm just asking as a general:
- Anyone got themselves registered yet?
- What's the general feel about this new player? Would you use it?
- Does anyone "trust" the pitch about it being more secure & private?

Thanks.
