Friendika Communications Server
|
||||
|
||||
http://project.friendika.com
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 adequately describe Friendika's
|
||||
capabilities - though Friendika can also fill those roles.
|
||||
|
||||
At its essence, Friendika is a web application which can monitor various
|
||||
information and social activity streams, and which also lets you participate
|
||||
in online conversations with friends and associates, using a variety of network
|
||||
protocols. These are combined into an overview of your various communications
|
||||
and activities - regardless of network origin.
|
||||
|
||||
Friendika also manages your personal profiles and photo albums and lets
|
||||
you securely present each 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
|
||||
private social circles, and which cannot be seen outside the circle.
|
||||
|
||||
Friendika is decentralised. Any account on any Friendika server can connect
|
||||
with any account on any other Friendika server. You can also connect to and
|
||||
interact directly with friends on Facebook, Status.Net, and other federated
|
||||
social web services (e.g. identi.ca, GNU-Social, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
Outgoing communications can be directed to Friendika, existing accounts on
|
||||
Facebook and Twitter, federated social web providers - or even delivered to
|
||||
email contacts.
|
||||
|
||||
Incoming data streams aren't limited to traditional social networks.
|
||||
They may include most any service which provides 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
|
||||
blogs, news services, and other websites. You can also import
|
||||
contacts from (and write to) anybody that is accessible from your email
|
||||
INBOX and view them in your social stream. Over time we will try to
|
||||
build two-way bridges to other services so that you can freely
|
||||
interact in both directions with anybody on an accessible network that
|
||||
allows it.
|
||||
|
||||
Communications between Friendika servers are private and encrypted,
|
||||
using military grade encryption - and require mutual identity provenance
|
||||
before any data is exchanged. These same crypto mechanisms provide remote
|
||||
password-less authentication; allowing you to post to profiles and view private
|
||||
photo collections on other servers - without encountering any login and/or
|
||||
authorisation dialogues when visiting these sites.
|
||||
|
||||
Friendika has no boundaries and no central ownership of the data generated
|
||||
within the network. Anybody with a commodity PHP/MySQL web server or hosting
|
||||
account can provide a server, and each individual server can then support
|
||||
up to several thousand participating members - each with their own unique
|
||||
communication and privacy needs. This allows Friendika to scale to global
|
||||
levels and mimics the decentralised architecture of the web itself.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are creating a website which requires social interaction, Friendika
|
||||
can also take the place of blog software, forum software and feed readers, and
|
||||
also provide individualised communications and content management - or
|
||||
simply be used as an alternative to traditional "monolithic" social networks.
|
||||
|
||||
Friendika is also free - in every sense of the word.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose freedom - join us.
