Unfortunately the way Facebook gained it's huge user base was by creepy stalking of people in any way it could, in order to get them to sign up, which is exactly why a privacy respecting social network will have a tough time to compete. Besides, those concerned with privacy will be reluctant to join anyway. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
