Mistpark is a social network without boundaries. Mistpark installations can
|
2010-10-14 14:26:20 +02:00
|
|
|
link together into a global social network which is free from central
|
|
|
|
|
control. We are developing connectors to seamlessly communicate with many
|
2010-10-13 14:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
other open social networks and providers - GNU-social, Diaspora, Status.net,
|
2010-10-14 14:26:20 +02:00
|
|
|
and even some of 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
|
2010-10-13 14:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
(straight-forward and simple). Whether you're communicating with drinking
|
2010-10-13 15:13:37 +02:00
|
|
|
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 can easily support hundreds of (and up to
|
|
|
|
|
several thousand) people using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these
|
|
|
|
|
people are able to connect with potentially hundreds or thousands of friends
|
|
|
|
|
and associates on any other supported network anywhere in the world and share
|
|
|
|
|
photos, links, status updates, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2010-09-27 05:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
|
2010-09-27 07:38:52 +02:00
|
|
|
communities. This makes it an excellent choice for the social networking needs
|
2010-10-14 13:20:39 +02:00
|
|
|
of young teenagers and especially k-12 organisations.

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
|
2010-10-13 14:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
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.
