    • 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 sharing 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 friend requests 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
• give choice on length of expiration...
• decay could fall all the way down to fandom

• 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?

• • Groups**

• 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?
