there's only so many ways to peel this particular orange.

It's true, there's certain paradigms that just work, and I played around quite a bit with more experimental approaches, and I just couldn't see the user flow working in a way that didn't throw users completely for a loop.

I'd consider a color change as a quick and painless way to distance the two.

With the beauty of Appleseed themes and CSS, I'll probably try and have three or four variations on this layout for the 1.0 release.

agreed, definitely try to lead with one that has less facebook-y and diaspora-y colors

Is diaspora really at a point where things can be diaspora-y?

[jdp23]

Fair enough. But from a positioning perspective, Diaspora's got a lot more visibility than Appleseed; so it's important for Michael to highlight the differentiation.
