I mentioned a few things that bug me in the above reply-to-myself... Should: - Be able to export all friend/contact information anytime. CSV is fine. - Be able to _easily_ block/remove applications & notifications. It's fine people can create "which star trek appliance are you?" quizzes, but let's make it _easy_ for these to be removed from my feed if I don't want to see them. - Maybe have a more twitter style follow where it does not need to be a mutual follow. Obviously less information is shared if I don't follow back; etc. Just pondering this, it might or might not be better. I actually don't think there's _that_ many things. There are a few key things that, if done right, would make it a better facebook. I'm just stabbing in the dark though. Can this post be considered a YC application? ;-)

Better than removing the deluge of unwanted app notifications individually would be a list, off to the side, of apps your friends have used that you haven't opted in or out of yet. Opt in and they all show up, opt out and it's added to a list of unwanted apps in your profile that you can edit later if desired. Obviously this would make users happy but not app makers, because the way it currently works is free (obnoxious) advertising for them. The mixed-access to updates based on bi- or unidirectional association is one of the very nice things about LiveJournal's social scheme. I knew a few people who use FaceBook for one level of communication and retain their LiveJournal accounts for another, because of this.
