Dear Colleagues, As you may know, Diaspora -- the free, open-source and distributed social network -- emerged from a need to provide a more privacy-aware alternative to Facebook. See: http://nymag.com/news/features/establishments/68512/ Diaspora expects to conduct research on its user community soon, and in the spirit of its open-source ethos, would like to invite members of the social network analysis and Internet research communities to participate. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me. Thanks, Yosem
