Social networks are great: you can stay in touch with friends
all across the world and find new ones based on your interests.
But often, social networks serve a single purpose or interest.
For instance photos, videos or classmates from school and
university.
This is not a problem by itself, but when you want to keep
track of all your contacts in all these social networks, this is
a lot of work for you to update your contacts list in all the
social networks you are in. And you also might need to get a
member of a social network, although you're not interesed in the
subject, but only want to track your friends activities.
NoseRub only defines the social network and some basic content
types like media, links, micropublishing and text. You can now
add all your contacts to a NoseRub network and aggregate several
social networks into just one.
And you always have full control of your data, as you can
install NoseRub on your own server and have it connect to
other servers out there.
