"problem of network effect"
if you accept the premises that:
a) the diaspora's of the world are the solution (or at least a step in the right direction)
b) the problem is that of a network effect (translation: the cold start problem)
... then one solution is for a well known, highly trafficked brand, that has nothing to lose, to implement "a".
... a.k.a....
what if someone like yahoo which still has vast reach, but is not a player in social, took something like diaspora and promoted heavily. That would solve the cold start problem.
