Is there a rule that says that if you're going to work on a distributed social network you have to be bad at naming things? socknet, really?
Also, do we really need a solution that is distributed or would a dropdown box on Facebook that says "Visible to:" and lets you select a group (e.g., Friends, Family, Everyone) do?
- thasmin 16y agoA dropdown box on Facebook would do, but nobody can put it there so some people decided to go with Plan B.
- ErrantX 16y agobut nobody can put it there Except for Facebook. And, err, they did - quite a while ago :)
- gbhn 16y agoI don't remember the source, but "it's easy to take a reservation, the hard part is filling it." Meaning, of course, that Facebook privacy has continuously eroded, so some (myself included) have no faith that such a dropdown has any persistent effect consistent with what might be inferred by what is written on it.
