BuddyCloud interview http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly/297 learned they do gratis https://hosting.buddycloud.com can use your own domain.
@evan mentioned briefly for favoriting tweet announcing interview, IIUC, which led to question about pump.io and diaspora. Simon Tenant (the BuddlyCloud person) explained that BuddlyCloud uses XMPP for federation, pump.io uses a web API, and diaspora seemed to make an application and added federation without much design or plan (then disclaimer about not really knowing any system other than BuddyCloud). But from what little I understand, probably an accurate description.

How does BuddyCloud compare to ownCloud? (I'm months behind on FLOSS Weekly)
BuddyCloud is under Apache 2.0, ownCloud AGPL but uses a contributor agreement and does proprietary relicensing.
They do different things. :)

It was interesting episode of FLOSS Weekly. I was going to post about it, but forgot it :-)
Owncloud is for decoupling data from web applications, and retain
"ownership". It allows users to choose where to store their social data
independently of the web service they use. Owncloud compares to Dropbox.
Buddycloud is a social networking platform based on XMPP, and integrates with websites. BuddyCloud (remotely) compares to Facebook.
Also, Owncloud is 2 letters closer to the cloud.
