I think it's silly to make claims about Diaspora having failed, when the project is still in its infancy. These things take time.

The Diaspora effect isn't just about Diaspora - it's about all the other projects like it and the fact that they are trying to standardize how these sites can communicate. If they succeed, then social networking becomes a bit like e-mail, and Facebook becomes a bit like AOL.

Disapora picked up media attention to early in the game... That kind of coverage may not happen again or be entertained by people who were once engaged... Concept can remain but surfacing it to the public will be difficult.
