Aspect An aspect would be best described as a list of people, based on their relationship with you. When you have just signed up you have four example aspects, namely Family, Work, Friends and Acquaintances.  These can be found on your left hand.  The idea is that you sort your family members and co-workers into their corresponding aspects.  This will come in very handy when you start sharing, as you can share a message with a combination of aspects very easily. (Diasporial) • http://diasporial.com/tutorials/interface-and-aspects Ever wanted to to share something with just a certain group of people?  Diaspora pioneered Aspects, the original system for sharing things with just the people you want.  Of course, you can still tell the whole world too, if you want to. • http://diasporafoundation.org

Diaspora* — free, distributed social network Diaspora (styled DIASPORA*) is a non-profit, user-owned, distributed social network that is based upon the free Diaspora software.  As of late 2011, there are more than 200 thousand users connected to the biggest server.  The project was founded in 2010 by four students at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Ilya Zhitomirskiy, Dan Grippi, Max Salzberg and Raphael Sofaer. Diaspora consists of a group of independently owned pods which interoperate to form the network. The word Diaspora is Greek in origin and refers to a scattered or dispersed population.

Diaspora — free, open source software for social networking a software that can be installed on a server by someone that has the knowledge to do so.  They in turn can allow people to register for an account on what they call their pod.  There are many of these pods already established across the internet with many users.  You register for a free account on a pod and you can seamlessly connect with other users on other pods the same as if you were making someone a friend on other social networking sites.  No matter which pod you are on, you are all using Diaspora.  If you have the technical skills, you can even set up your own pod for your family and or friends.  They can in turn connect to family and friends on your pod or even other pods with ease.

• Follow | Follower | Mutual Follower
  A follow is a person whom you are following.  In order to follow a person you will have to add them to one or more of your aspects.  The person will get access to your aspect(s) and you will automatically start following their public posts.
  http://diasporial.com/tutorials/follows-and-followers

  A follower is a person who is following you.  Followers are created automatically when a person adds you to one or more of their aspects.  They will start following your public posts and you get to see their shared aspect.
  http://diasporial.com/tutorials/follows-and-followers
   
  When you and another person are following each other, we talk about mutual followers. This can be compared to being Facebook friends.  Just like on Twitter, you need to be mutual followers in order to use certain features.
