Some -would call it a "social network" or "distributed social network". We think -both terms have been over-used, and don't adequately describe Friendika's -capabilities - though Friendika can also fill those roles. - - At its essence, Friendika is a web application which can monitor various -information and social activity streams, and which also lets you participate -in online conversations with friends and associates, using a variety of network -protocols. These are combined into an overview of your various communications -and activities - regardless of network origin. - - Friendika also manages your personal profiles and photo albums and lets -you securely present each of these to specific audiences. Your communications -can be either open and public, or closed and private. You can easily create -"groups" of contacts with which you can partition your conversations into -private social circles, and which cannot be seen outside the circle. - - Friendika is decentralised. Any account on any Friendika server can connect -with any account on any other Friendika server. You can also connect to and -interact directly with friends on Facebook, Status.Net, and other federated -social web services (e.g. identi.ca, GNU-Social, etc.). - - Outgoing communications can be directed to Friendika, existing accounts on -Facebook and Twitter, federated social web providers - or even delivered to -email contacts. - - Incoming data streams aren't limited to traditional social networks. -They may include most any service which provides a syndication feed (both RSS -and Atom). This allows you to view communications from friends in other -diverse social networks - such as Diaspora, Google Buzz, and millions of -blogs, news services, and other websites. You can also import -contacts from (and write to) anybody that is accessible from your email -INBOX and view them in your social stream. Over time we will try to -build two-way bridges to other services so that you can freely -interact in both directions with anybody on an accessible network that -allows it. - - Communications between Friendika servers are private and encrypted, -using military grade encryption - and require mutual identity provenance -before any data is exchanged. These same crypto mechanisms provide remote -password-less authentication; allowing you to post to profiles and view private -photo collections on other servers - without encountering any login and/or -authorisation dialogues when visiting these sites. - - Friendika has no boundaries and no central ownership of the data generated -within the network. Anybody with a commodity PHP/MySQL web server or hosting -account can provide a server, and each individual server can then support -up to several thousand participating members - each with their own unique -communication and privacy needs. This allows Friendika to scale to global -levels and mimics the decentralised architecture of the web itself. - - If you are creating a website which requires social interaction, Friendika -can also take the place of blog software, forum software and feed readers, and -also provide individualised communications and content management - or -simply be used as an alternative to traditional "monolithic" social networks. - - Friendika is also free - in every sense of the word. - - Choose freedom - join us. - - Find out more about the project at http://project.friendika.com - - ******************* - Friendika Demo Site - ******************* - - http://demo.friendika.com - - ******************* - Friendika Downloads - ******************* - - http://github.com/friendika/friendika/tarball/master - - - |
