We can do it like Facebook. Everybody friends your profile
and you manually group them. The grouping is private in that
your friends don't know what groups they're in (and most of
the time, even if they've been grouped at all).
At the time you "friend" (connect) a profile instead of "Accept" you
must
choose a relationship(s) (sibling, parent, etc.) or "Ignore". The
same as
facebook this relationship selection remains private. These
relationships
can be based on XFN(1). This minimises leaking and optimises privacy
based
on relationships.
yep, thats exactly the same google + does (circles )
We can do it like Diaspora. Explicit groups where the
interface requires that you group people and is public about
which groups you're interacting with when.
I haven't explore Diaspora because I thought it was alpha software.
Well it is same with http://project.friendika.com , but worth to have
a look at.
Another approach is to use URLs. Give all your friends the
http://fbox.example.com/wild-and-crazy-guy address. Give
your family the http://fbox.example.com/pious-father address.
Give your coworkers the
http://fbox.example.com/always-at-my-desk address. Each of
these are just different views of the same profile. And then
you could manually change what people see if somebody's
status changes from, say, /boyfriend to /ex-boyfriend.
Exactly, thats what i am talking about !!! +1
The interface should be obvious about which groups you are talking
to.
Perhaps the css could change in obvious ways (backrgound
color?) or perhaps the software could be smart enough to know
you don't want to share "me-drunk.png" with the group labelled "WORK"
I think change of colour is important for mixed groups, e.g. you
have people
in a group with different relationships and no mutual relationships.
Done in google + IMHO
check this paper guys, we dont need to reinvent the wheel
