Every once in a while I go looking for an alternative to Facebook. Today I noticed a article over at CNN that talked about Why some dissatisfied users are shunning Facebook.
Sounds like me. I started getting fed up most recently when some guy friended me out of nowhere claiming he found me on a Bible site and wanted to get to know and eventually meet me. He seemed really concerned that I should fear God. I became really concerned that he might be some kind of serial killer.
So, yeah, I want something that is like Facebook, but is not Facebook.
The CNN article suggested a site called Diaspora - which I sent in a request to get an invite when they go into beta mode, and another site called Path which I am uncertain about since they seem to rely in part on Facebook as a place to post things and just locks it to specific people. I do not yet see where Path is actually a alternative to Facebook rather than a tool to limit who can see your posts to the site.
