Yes, a basic blogging experience would be great. Or even ‘notes’ - FB had ‘notes’ (do they still? No one bothers with them) I think it could be a great idea for those longer posts that people want to make. As I mentioned elsewhere, a new-ish site called minds.com is starting to be talked about between many friends on FB. Two things it has implemented - tho not very well- is groups and blog. It is really time for Diaspora to shine!
