Mistpark is a social network without boundaries. Mistpark installations can
|
|
|
|
|
all link together into a global social network which is free from central
|
|
|
|
|
control. We are also developing connectors to seamlessly communicate with many
|
|
|
|
|
other open social networks and providers - GNU-social, Diaspora, Status.net,
|
|
|
|
|
and even the larger closed services such as Facebook and Twitter.

|
|
|
Over the coming months, the boundaries between these networks will start to
|
|
|
|
|
become indistinguishable as they all become part of your social circle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your personal thoughts and conversations belong to you - and are shared with
|
|
|
|
|
those you wish to share them with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mistpark is secure and as private as you wish it to be. Privacy settings are
|
|
|
|
|
straight-forward and simple, because we know that relationships rarely are
|
|
|
|
|
(straight-forward and simple). Whether you're communicating with drinking
|
|
|
|
|
buddies or potential employers, you can rest assured that each can only see
|
|
|
|
|
the side of you that you wish to present.

A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people
|
2010-09-22 01:51:21 +02:00
|
|
|
using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these people can connect with any
|
2010-10-13 14:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
other supported network anywhere in the world and share photos, links,
|
|
|
|
|
status updates, whatever.

But maybe you don't want to be connect to the world. That's OK too. Mistpark
|
|
|
|
|
may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
|
2010-09-27 05:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
|
2010-09-27 07:38:52 +02:00
|
|
|
communities. This makes it an excellent choice for the social networking needs
|
|
|
|
|
of young teenagers. Their network can grow to global scope as their maturity
|
|
|
|
|
increases - and can be made available only to their known friends until then.

Every person on Mistpark has unlimited profiles available to them. There is a
|
|
|
|
|
"public profile" which can be seen by anybody. Additional profiles may be
|
2010-10-13 14:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
tailored to specific groups or individuals.

Groups may be setup for closed conversations. In this way your conversations
|
|
|
|
|
with one group of friends is completely isolated from other friends or groups
|
|
|
|
|
of friends.
