Notes: I want to try out a brainstorm session on HN. The first topic came up in my mind was facebook, probably because it got so much coverage with the privacy issues and Diaspora etc.<p>Topic: Assume you are Diaspora (or any competitor), also assume that technical issues have been solved. What are some strategies to convert users from facebook?<p>Rule 1: Be as far-fetched as possible - quantity over quality<p>Rule 2: Only reply to someone's idea when you can build on top of it. If you really want to express that certain ideas won't work, start a separate comment with your explanation and an alternative idea.<p>For example: I will start with a few ideas in the comments below.
Organize a national quit facebook day (Sept 1). Build website for it and ask people to publicize the url in their facebook profile, status, twitter, etc.
