Well the year is about up and done with already. We have seen Diaspora grow like crazy. Now 82 pods listed on podupti.me! A ton of code produced this year from the dev’s!

We have also seen the user base about double this year, check out diasp.eu’s nice estimate tool: stats

Its obvously been a hard end to the year with the loss of Ilya. But it looks like the Diaspora Dudes are healing and on track to get a beta out the door next year.

The diasp.org pod seems rock solid right now and we had a day with 80k hits and all was humming along, 2 dedicated servers seem the right combo for now. Think we are set for next year and think we will see a lot of users setup their own pods and migrate to pods closer to home. I am always happy to help folks setup pods! Its getting quite easy now with current distros like Fedora 16 and Centos 6.x

Thanks to all for donations, and for promoting Diaspora. I am excited for next year, for Beta and for lots of new users!

Have a good Holiday season and a Happy New year!
