"Every startup has more reasons to fail than to succeed."

That is true. But I'm curious -- is Diaspora a startup? I understand they're a bunch of students with a right attitude and a wrong idea, trying to give something to the community for the greater good -- have I got it wrong?




They're a startup in the sense that they're starting something new from scratch; they're a few people taking a risky voyage into the unknown in the hope of it paying off big (in this case, via social benefits).
