Does event management exist yet? I.e, can my friends and I create events and invite people to them like you can on Facebook?

Also, ISTR from last time I played with it, there was no ability to create photo albums/collections. Does that exist now?

Without those two things I couldn't even begin to consider getting people to start using it.

Groundwork has been done, so it is definitely planned: https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora_federation/pull/44 Hopefully, this gets a bit more attention now that the big cleanup work of the codebase has been done.

No, not yet. See https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/1359

Lack of integration with their calendar right from the off is why Google Plus flopped, I reckon.
