-
-
- Friendika is a web application for managing social communications. Some
-would call it a "social network" or "distributed social network". We think
-both terms have been over-used and don't really apply - though Friendika can
-also fill those roles.
-
- At its essence, Friendika is a web application which can monitor various
-information streams, and also let you participate in online conversations with
-friends and associates using a variety of network protocols.
-
- Friendika also manages your personal profiles and photo albums and lets
-you tailor either 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 social
-circles.
-
- Friendika is decentralised. Any account on any Friendika server can connect
-with any other Friendika account on any other server. You can also connect to
-friends on Status.Net and other federated social web services (e.g. identi.ca,
-GNU-Social, etc.).
-
- Outgoing communications can be directed at these networks and/or your
-existing accounts on Facebook and Twitter - and even delivered to email
-contacts.
-
- Incoming data streams aren't limited to traditional social networks.
-They may include most any service that provide 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
-Wordpress blogs, news services, and other websites. Over time we will try to
-build two-way bridges to many of these services so that you can freely
-interact in both directions with anybody who allows it.
-
- Communications between supported networks are private and encrypted,
-using military grade encryption - and require mutual authentication of servers
-before any data is exchanged.
-
- Friendika has no boundaries and no central ownership. Anybody with a
-commodity PHP/MySQL web server can provide a membership hub, and each
-individual server can then support several thousand participating members
-- each with their own unique communication and privacy needs.
-
- If you are creating a website which requires social interaction, Friendika
-can take the place of blog software, forum software and feed readers, and
-also provide individualised communications and content management - or
-provide a ready alternative to traditional "monolithic" social networks.
