I ran across Ego - a distributed social network tool - while preparing for a talk in Argentina. Check this out. "It's a piece of social networking software like Facebook that allows you to manage your friends, your data and what you want to share with whom. But - unlike Facebook - there is no centralized server controlling the entire network. As a consequence of this, you own your data and can control what data gets shared not only with friends but with other corporations, etc." It's one of the viral communications projects under Andy Lippman at MIT's media lab, and doesn't appear to have gone anywhere, but they were certainly on the right track.
