Hi Jan, Here's a quick list of features I'd like to see in any social network (not just P2P ones):
* Grandmother-compatible. It should be possible to be friends with my grandmother without her seeing the photo of the time I did that thing with the grapes. * Alcohol-compatible. There should be something as easy to remember as an email address that I can give to random people I befriend while drunk. And if they look me up the next day, there should be a polite way of not responding. * Schoolproof. People should not be able to find my profile just because we went to school together 20 years ago. Similarly, people should not be able to find my profile just because I applied for a job at their company (or at least, they shouldn't be able to see the photo of the thing with the grapes). * Grudge-friendly. It should be possible to move my data from one provider to another when the current provider accuses me of lacking integrity because I don't want my grandmother to see the photo etc etc. * Jackboot-resistant. The Tunisian government should not be able to steal my password by setting up a fake login page.
