Is Diaspora dead?
Diaspora, the Kickstarter princess that took on Facebook started with a bang, but now, 6 months after opening it's beta, I see almost no activity.
I scan the member pages and less than 1% have a pic, only 1700 people following #newhere, and those that are following it have not been around for 3-4 months.
Is it dead? Flawed? Too much work? What's the deal?

[ 2.1 ms ] story [ 9.2 ms ] threadI made an account but it never really took off since none of my friends made the switch. I think the idea of a distributed social network isn't flawed but I have a feeling that a successful implementation won't look like a clone of Facebook/Twitter.

They're still going and actually were just accepted into YC.
If they do release something, it will likely be very different from what was expected in the past.
