the net distance in the spec is alway centered in the Owner or viewer and then, depending on the distance and group id you will retrieve Friends (net distance = 1), friends of friends (netDistance = 2) etc.
And other DIFFERENT call is networkDistance(userId1, userId2); that will return how many steps in the Graph separates UserId1 and 2 this last one is NOT part of the spec yet hope this helps bruno On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 3:28 PM, peeyush gulati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Dear GB > > Thanks for the reply. > > I have an understanding of the same and have no doubts over distance 0,1,2 > > But what i asked was more from shindig prespective and he case i had > explained. > > The documentation on network distance in gole docs does not specify abput > the case i had asked. > > Can you please re look at the case i had mentioned !!!!!! > > > > > On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 11:48 PM, Guido Barosio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > FYI > > > > > > > http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/0.8/reference/#opensocial.IdSpec.Field.NETWORK_DISTANCE > > > > Hope it clears out your doubts. > > > > GB.- > > > > On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 11:10 AM, peeyush gulati <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > wrote: > > > Any update !!!!! > > > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > > From: peeyush gulati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Date: Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 4:09 PM > > > Subject: Network Distance > > > To: [email protected] > > > Cc: peeyush gulati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > > > > > Hi All > > > > > > I was concerened about Network Distance feature of open social > > specification > > > 0.8 > > > > > > What i understand of network distance is the distance between 2 people > in > > a > > > social networking. > > > > > > Lets say a case is there > > > > > > (A)--->(B) " ---> INDICATES FRIEND ' > > > (A)--->(C) > > > > > > (C)--->(D) > > > (C)--->(E) > > > > > > > > > (D)--->(E) > > > > > > the same has been shown in the diagram attached here. > > > > > > Now according to my understanding Network Distance between A & E = 2 > > and > > > also 3 when we take person D into the path. > > > > > > So do we give a priority to the lesser one.
