We don't need another service provider. We need a protocol, a specification for completely decentralised, carry-with-us social networks.
A way that my device can securely communicate with my friends devices and say "Sup?". A way that we can share messages, photos, calendars, contacts, etc without some behemoth (or state) sticking its nose in the middle.
I've had this conversation here before and somebody mentions RSS but it's not enough on its own. It's certainly a basis for content exchange but nowhere near enough for the authentication, and authoring side of things.
