Really? With an install process that requires an advanced sysadmin and half a day? And a digital money system that's already having leakage troubles?
I wanted to like diaspora. It has great ideas. But to have any chance against Google+ and Checkout, Diaspora better have a 2-minute install process and close to a million user by tomorrow. I'm in the trial. Half my friends are now too. It's _nice_. I wrote a review:

Bitcoin's time window will last until Google Checkout is available to merchants world-wide, rather than just the US and UK. No idea how long that will take.
Funny thing is... I bet the main use of Facebook right now is spreading Google+ invitations around.
