<h4>What is NoseRub?</h4> <p class="abouttext"> NoseRub is a <strong>protocol</strong>.<br> What currently can be <a href="http://noserub.com/download/">downloaded</a> is <strong>just an example implementation</strong>. </p> <hr> <h4>How is it a &#xbb;decentralised&#xab; social network?</h4> <p class="abouttext"> Applications with the NoseRub protocol keep information about profile data for each of the contacts. These profiles get <strong>synchronised</strong> between the applications/social networks ... and can be used by <strong>any other NoseRub service</strong>.<br> NoseRub uses already available standards like <strong><a href="http://openid.net/">OpenID</a></strong>, <strong><acronym title="Really Simple Syndication" xml:lang="en" lang="en">RSS</acronym></strong> and <strong><a href="" http:="" www.foaf-project.org="">FOAF</a></strong> to provide the goal of having a truely decentralised social network. </p> <hr> <h4>How do i own my data?</h4> <p class="abouttext"> Decentralised means, that people may be able to store their social network on their <strong>own server</strong> and those servers to interact and synchronize automatically. One company doesn't own your data and social network anymore, <strong>you own and control it</strong>. </p> <hr> <h4>Is NoseRub just another&nbsp;&#xbb;profile aggregation&#xab; service?</h4> <p class="abouttext"> No! Again, this is just our <a href="/download/">sample application</a>. You can build anything on top of the NoseRub protocol. </p>
