Mistpark Server
|
|
Distributed Social Network
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements.
|
|
|
|
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. Our 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 is only able to
|
|
see the side of you that you wish to present.
|
|
|
|
A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people
|
|
using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these people can connect with any
|
|
other supported network anywhere in the world and share photos, links,
|
|
status updates, whatever.
|
|
|
|
But maybe you don't want to be connected to the world. That's OK too. Mistpark
|
|
may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
|
|
social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
|
|
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
|
|
tailored to specific groups or individuals.
|
|
|
|
Groups may be created and used for closed conversations. In this way your
|
|
conversations with one group of friends is completely isolated from other
|
|
friends or groups of friends.

It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
|
|
be, help us to make it better.
