I feel really bad about this. I'll explain. Every person has different "social roles" in real life (for friends, business associates, hobby, etc.). But I have only one FB account. With single avatar pic. Imagine leaving a comment on some business related website using this system while I have FB avatar of me on some crazy college drunk party. When I'm socializing on FB website only that's OK, but when you try to go out, that's a big problem. We need a better way to manage our social roles.

Interpersonal relationships are not just "friend" or "not friend", it's far more complicated than that: I worked with a. I went to college with p. I'm best friends with x. I know z. IIRC the clear distinctions between unrelated friend groups is one of Diaspora's big selling points.

  IIRC the clear distinctions between unrelated friend groups is one of Diaspora's big selling points. A feature that Appleseed has had since around 2007. ;) Except we call them friends "Circles", not "Aspects".

If FB comments catch on, Facebook better expect a wave of non-real personas. It's not hard to make/maintain a fake persona. Most of my personal details on FB are not only hidden, but false. Perhaps this is the strategy to boost their numbers? (Ill advised, I think, but whatever)

  I was thinking about this too. But it seems like FB might actually like that, fluff up their user numbers a bit...
