It could be maddening for a user to see that they are a friend of
300, when in fact they have not done anything in the system
to create that relationship.
Hi Glenn,
For a social networking app, I think you'd be right about that. What
I have here is more of a CRM application. The user manages his own
contacts and can record relationships between them for his own
information, so reciprocation is not an issue, whereas it would be
in a social networking app like friendster or facebook. In this app,
the design spec indicates that if a user records that 100 and 300
are friends (or spouses, or co-workers, etc.), then the system
should be able to find 100 connected to 300 and vice-verse.
