Hi Chris,
question: How does the circles match up with Shindig friends? Do they work together or are they competing? Do we remove the existing friend concept in Rave? response: I think they have to work together. How we do that .. I'm not completely sure. I'd like to make a pipeline request in a gadget and get friends plus any groups/connections. question/statement: I assume you mean "Each person has...", any social stuff should be attached to the person not the user. This is important because we've already discussed there might not always be a one-to-one relationship between users and people. response: completely agree that is my fault for interchanging those terms. User in this regard is person not the User security object.
