I guess I'd sort of be interested in this, but Facebook already does what I want. I haven't used Frid.ge (no friends to try it with) so I don't know exactly how the groups work, but part of the value in Facebooks customisation is the ability to hide stuff from a single person without making the distinction clear. With this anyone who uses Frid.ge understand that you're going to be hiding stuff from them, assuming a person I want to hide stuff from cared about what is happening with me enough to add me as a friend here, they're going to be pissed when they find I hide stuff from them, "don't you trust me?". If you have a boss who is touchy about you partying, they're probably going to care when you hide it from them, it goes from "it doesn't happen!" to "it does happen but I don't want you to see it". It implies you have something to hide.<p>Facebook already allows me to hide the rare thing I don't want certain friends seeing, this seems overkill, although I'm assuming there is more to Frid.ge than just being able to hide from certain people so I won't say it's a terrible idea, but based on the video I am not attracted to it.
I like the idea of not just hiding information for certain people, but the clean slate idea. Once the sharing ends, the information and content is swiped clean preventing others from leveraging that after the fact. Time sensitive groups are relevant to how we interact in our actual social circles today.<p>FB groups do not capture this reality, the groups that are created stay and information shared is always available even after an event, or group moves on.<p>I believe fridge is on to a more accurate social graph. Add business and commerce solutions and you got your self a relevant business model.<p>Businesses don't care about who you where 2 years ago, they care about who you are now! (Time Sensitive)<p>Keep up the good work!
this kind of sounds like what Diaspora was trying to accomplish. I wonder whatever happened to those guys. They were the toast of silicon valley and I haven't heard anything since then.
