I'm having deja vu about the decentralizing-diaspora that followed classic-Napster.

Diaspora == Facetella?

Ultimately, one of the biggest winners there was the closed-source but relatively efficient and enforcement-resistant Kazaa, from the Skype founders. But open-protocol (Gnutella) and open-source (LimeWire) options also did alright.

Today, Skype as an again-independent company could be a dark horse candidate for a decentralized, enhanced-privacy but closed-code Facebook-competitor.
