Social networks need a private "distance" measure.

Not all friends are equal. Not all work contacts are equal.

Social networks need a private "distance" measure, a scale of one to ten that allows you to fine tune your social network.

Sort of like having inner circles and outer circles.

Thoughts?




Sure it does. What need i feel on FB, is there are some close relationships should not even know of my mafia wars friends and what i speak to them. May be have a group wall or something. But whatever it is it generically can be stated as having an inner and outer circle..or may be having more circles.
