A few weeks back I started a project http://p2press.org which is more of an open twitter than facebook, but it will be interesting to see how far along it be by October

Diaspora's timing couldn't be more prescient -- a movie releasing in October based on Ben Mezrich's 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires sheds light on the real genesis of Facebook -- and it ain't pretty:

Campus follies aren't what will damage Facebook. It's the much more serious accusations about Zuckerberg's character—namely, that he stole the idea for the site from three Harvard students (twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra) and later betrayed Saverin out of his ownership stake. Sorkin's draft screenplay leaves no doubt as to who's in the wrong. Much of the movie takes place in a deposition room, with Zuckerberg's undergraduate machinations played out in flashback, and some of the film's final frames inform audiences that the Winklevosses received a $65 million settlement. Napster cofounder and early Facebook president Sean Parker also comes off poorly, as a high-flying but functionally homeless cocaine fiend who plies Zuckerberg with girls and venture capitalists.

There's your deadline, Diaspora.
