The thing:

1) was built in Rails

2) can be a really decent alternative to Facebook's Timeline, if it finds a new home

3) does not necessarily depend on other people's data

4) has a path to generate some revenue (charging to buy an account if you don't have an invite)

5) has the possibility to go open source

I see all these things, and I can only think how Diaspora should be running to get this.
