Mistpark introduces a new generation of social networks. Mistpark Server
|
|
|
|
|
allows you to interact with other members of the Mistpark community using
|
|
|
|
|
the DFRN (Distributed Friends and Relations Network) protocol. Other networks
|
|
|
|
|
(such as Diaspora, OneSocialWeb, status.net, etc.) will be supported in the
|
|
|
|
|
future as their products mature and protocol and privacy/rights issues are
|
|
|
|
|
resolved between these networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
|
|
|
|
|
be, help us to make it better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people
|
2010-09-21 23:51:21 +00:00
|
|
|
using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these people can connect with any
|
|
|
|
|
other mistpark/DFRN cell anywhere in the world and share photos, links,
|
|
|
|
|
status updates, whatever. Also available from Mistpark Labs is
|

|
|
|
Mistpark Personal Edition, which supports a single person.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mistpark may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
|
|
|
|
|
social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
|
2010-09-27 05:38:52 +00:00
|
|
|
communities. This makes it an excellent choice for the social networking needs
|
|
|
|
|
of young teenagers. Their network can grow to global scope as their maturity
|
|
|
|
|
increases - and can be made available only to their known friends until then.

|
Every person on Mistpark has unlimited profiles available to them. There is a
|
|
|
|
|
"public profile" which can be seen by anybody. Additional profiles may be
|
|
|
|
|
tailored to specific groups or individuals - and shown when a known friend
|
|
|
|
|
visits your site.

|
|
|
Groups may be setup for closed conversations (like Diaspora's "aspects"). In
|
2010-09-27 05:38:52 +00:00
|
|
|
this way your conversations with drinking buddies may be kept completely
|
|
|
|
|
separate from conversations with co-workers (for instance).
