I thought the opposite (but I was wrong).

Diaspora is like email or Jabber - one can have an account anywhere and communicate with everyone.

I thought that Diaspora would be attractive for large news portals (those all kind of news portals - from bussiness to gossips). They would be able to create social network, as they used to offer free email accounts. This would be attractive for users since they can communicate with people who prefer other portals.

Apparently it does not work that way, portals place everywhere like buttons or adopt FB comments. Kind of strange since one day Facebook might start charging for that.
