We could foresee some awkward conversations... "Hey John, don't take it personally but I had to unfriend you because you've been behind on a few car payments and at the moment, I'm trying to qualify for a mortgage." or "Sorry, I couldn't accept your friend request because you've been unemployed since graduation and still live with your mom." (Profiling via "guilty by association".) If Facebook turns users' friendship data into weapons against them, we could end up with people creating two sets of friends: 1) the "unofficial" friends hidden from Facebook and 2) the "official" friends that won't hurt FICO credit scores. If that happened businesses would have to go to the cell phone companies to more accurately analyze friendship nodes (wireless phone #s). It's harder to hide "real" friends on the cell network since people only use one phone. Facebook's idea can be extended beyond credit-worthiness to "moral character assessment". If a friend has a DUI charge, you unfriend them (or never accept a friend request) because you don't want to hurt your chances when applying for an FBI or nanny job.
