'Friends' is to broad and general a term for what happens in these social networks. I propose the following breakdown of association types:

strangers in the night; by reputation only; have met a few times; have eaten their cooking; would do business with them; would help them move; would take bullet for them.

    There is also a myriad of sexual terms that should be applied: Crush on, admire physically, porn star, etc.

    hmm .. too true. too true. And I guess it's only right that we hit the opposite end of the spectrum: pre-emptively agrees to disagree; mild dislike but have to listen cuz it's my boss; loathe and despise but will listen to better mock; arch-nemesis.

    heh - I friended Eric Rice thinking that would give me a steady stream of Pownce content but to no avail. I think everyone joined here but they're all still mucking about in Twitter.

    I think you're absolutely right. So says the evidence on my screen.

    which of course leaves Pownce as our backchannel to Twitter, which is our backchannel to SL.
