privacy models vs semantic relationships
- livejournal does a good job
- different contexts
- decay
- facebook shows private twitter if you import/aggregate private feeds...
grand vision of the semantic web...
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:W3c-semantic-web-layers.svg
- no such thing as universal trust
xfn
- folksonomic
- muse in romantic category... because of classical greek definition
germany just passed 7 year marriage contract defaults

decay/churn
- after X amount of time
- gestures can renew halflife
- "vigor"
- tom morris's blogroll...
  - http://microformats.org/wiki/openid-brainstorming
- levels of contacts... social whitelisting by context... or location
magnolia does recommendations
- notices email... if someone signs up using that email, messages sent via them
- need messaging via email/jabber/openid
every generation is more likely to share more information for fame and ease of use...
need incremental benefits over time...
a lot of networks don't build in support for banning/blocking/abuse

the convenience of creating and establishing an openid...
- friending... blocking universally... across all sites...
- maybe it will prevent abuse because the value to an abuser of a reputable openid is high... i can block people universally based on their single openid...
pownce... you add someone as friend... goes into friend requests... accept friend / no, leave as fan
openid for friends: add as friend, leave as fan, deny

drop friends list... only have fans list... then check your fans list to add someone as a friend...
be able to request the ability to follow... without annoying someone with a friend request...
no way to remove fans from your page
people feel bad listing best friends ... myspace/facebook? people will lie... people will go after someone's best friends...

people on livejournal edit their friends list often... there's a cost to having a long list of friends... binge and purge is how you cloak decay

proximity + context + group (grid model...)... time, tags, geo...
imagine your friends as records in the itunes library... all the different types of smart filters...
how or do you re-share information?

on openid endpoint... could list rel-groups... site could pull in all your groups... and subscribe to them... if you remove a link to a group, you've unsubscribed
use oauth to maintain our list of groups?
