Diaspora sucks. You have to host your own diaspora server to broadcast your information or join a pre-existing server that isn't yours. Unless the Diaspora team makes some serious changes prior to the public launch that site isn't go anywhere and it's getting there fast. Way too technical for the average user and there aren't nearly enough people using it to justify switching from facebook.
There will probably come a time when something better than facebook comes out but it definitely isn't diaspora and it definitely won't be a facebook clone because you can't possibly beat facebook at its own game. Not happening. Too big, moves too fast, too powerful.
