I'd like to know your opinion about a model I wrote, it's about how a decentralized social network could be built and generate revenue. The model is applicable to Diaspora and all the other decentralized FLO networks.

My model is based on the experience of several industries to generate revenue using trust. I believe that there is a cross-point between 3 industries: the social media decentralization, the P2P commerce and the content monetization and they will grow exponentially if they shake hands.

Here is the model I wrote, it consists of 3 parts:

1. A whole decentralization roadmap: http://decentralizedmodel.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/the-decentralization-roadmap/

Please let me know what do you think about the milestones I propose. I tried to be concise explaining them.

2. Lean Canvas about some of the core modules I observe: http://decentralizedmodel.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/my-social-media-decentralization-core-via-lean-canvas/

3. Some predictions how Facebook will evolve, accepting the models of social media decentralization:

I'll be really happy to read your feedback.

Here is our discussion in the Diaspora discussion forum about the same ideas:
