I think all people I know privately, including school and university, account for maybe 100 to 120 people. Of them I'd trust about 40 as connections :) If I add people I only know via email, these numbers go up to maybe 150/50. > > If they should have more contacts, we'll need stronger friend interaction > > features, so we can keep the cost for social interaction with friends > > low. > > We need stronger friend interaction features full stop. How about a shoutbox as first step? There you can send messages to all your contacts. Naturally each shoutbox will have different entries, so it's no real chat, but at least it would allow giving quick status messages (that's the main communication i did: "Sorry, my box was down for a day - I'm up again" :) > > A Jabber server which automatically adds all friends as contacts would be > > an option, I think. > > Hmmm perhaps. It would also add better information about online contacts - directly in the multi-messenger people use anyways. Maybe it could even get control features, like the jabber server from livejournal (you can post LJ entries via jabber). Another option would be IRC :) But both have the drawback of drawing people away from the webinterface, which increases the maintenance cost for toad.
