Tired of twitter and facebook? Here is one of my idea's.

A friend and I had a conversation related to this last night. We were speaking about how Facebook has seemed to become the dumping ground for acquaintances that you'd like to keep in contact with, but never will, and who you're not really comfortable texting. It's a problem I've had with Facebook for a while. They just don't differentiate the relationships I have with people enough. And because almost everyone is on the same level, I'm hesitant to share information and act as I would if it were just me and my close ring of friends. Often times, others will just post things to garner attention because they're posting to the world, and so my news feed is usually cluttered with garbage I'm not really interested in.<p>Anyway, I think adding points to relationships, or even people really, is a good way to go about differentiating friends. Come to think of it, I can see a Facebook app where you have 3 tokens to choose your top 3 friends to be pretty successful. Throw in an option to let people buy more tokens to add more best friends, and you'll have a bunch of teenagers buying tokens so as to not make the 4th and 5th best friends feel left out. :P

i watched your video. It's a cool idea, and I've thought about just using CRM software to manage all my contacts (including friends.) That's basically what it seemed you were describing: an organized priority system for how people should get your time and attention. And that's what good CRM or contact management systems already do.<p>One thing those other solution do not do is let people see your evaluation, or create network effects based on everyone's evaluations. Maybe you are thinking in that direction, but the video didn't say much beyond just setting priorities using a point system.<p>Good luck with it!
