		<description>Great paper, Danah!  I&#039;m going to recommend it as a primer on Social Networking.


Have you considered the ways in which the blogosphere is like a social network?


May I suggest -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://profitlabinc.com/PROFITBLOG/2006/07/19/win-friends-influence-people/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://profitlabinc.com/PROFITBLOG/2006/07/19/win-friends-influence-people/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://profitlabinc.com/PROFITBLOG/2006/07/19/win-friends-influence-people/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>Danah,


I really enjoyed the article. There is so much there to think about. I&#039;ve focused in on the &quot;top 8&quot; feature. Where I understand the dynamics of friending does not indicate whether a person is or is not an acquaintance, does the top 8 accurately indicate a person&#039;s inner circle? If you were to do something like a GSS how close would it approximate a person&#039;s top 8? What&#039;s your gut feeling?


Thanks...Kevin

		<description>Hi Danah,


I just went and read your paper, and most of it corresponds with what I&#039;ve seen as a participant on MySpace (I don&#039;t have experience on Friendster). But I was surprised you left out one practice which fits right in with the question you are exploring.


Some people tell you right on their profile what their personal norms are for being added.


Common ones are as follows:


Only add me if we actually know each other


Only add me if we have interests in common


If you add me just to hit on me sexually you will be deleted


This profile is for my friends and family - if you don&#039;t know me add me at my fan site


This is my kink profile - if you are interested in my valilla interests add my other profile


Don&#039;t add me with out sending an introduction


Don&#039;t add me unless we have talked


Now all of these together would appear to be only a minority of users, but I thought the fact people were doing this was an interesting feature of the friending process.


And, then as another sidelight, there is the really extreme &quot;whore&quot; culture. You allude to this, but don&#039;t mention the sites that feature software specifically designed to facilitate &quot;whore trains&quot;, etc.


But these are just picky points, not really criticism. Overall, the article was really good.


Keep writing!


-Steve

		<description>Hi Danah, I&#039;m currently using flickr to comment on the different ways in which social networks deal with &#039;friendships&#039;, contacts and the like. I&#039;ve just got started with it and it&#039;s a much more humble effort than your paper, which I look forward to read carefully and surely enjoy. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketraccoon/312761317/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;An example of the set at flickr&lt;/a&gt;
