    We can divide the various social media by type. Most obvious is profit vs. nonprofit which we will use here.
    The main [[#Consumium free social|quartet]] of the '''free''' is
    * [[#diaspora*|diaspora*]]
    * [[#Hubzilla|Hubzilla]]
    * [[#Friendica|Friendica]]
    * [[#GNU social|GNU social]]
    And the '''for-profit'''s are
    * [[#Twitter|Twitter]]
    * [[#Google+|Google+]]
    * [[#Facebook|Facebook]]

    Additionally there is a [[GNU MediaGoblin]] media hosting instance at https://media.consumium.org. Interesting to see when this will actually take off.
