BOOK: @jimdwyernyt – More Awesome Than Money: Four Boys and Their Heroic Quest to Save Your Privacy from Facebook #diaspora
A new book More Awesome Than Money: Four Boys and Their Heroic Quest to Save Your Privacy from Facebook by New York Times writer Jim Dwyer tells the story of the development of diaspora – a nonprofit, user-owned, distributed social network. The effort was originally inspired by an ISOC-NY event “Freedom in the Cloud” in February 2010. Four NY students decided to spend their summer following up and, after briefing ISOC-NY, took to Kickstarter to raise some funds. Since this happened to coincide with a major “privacy lurch” from facebook they ended up with $200k. Read the book to find out what happened next!
