New contact (or friends?!) system

i think Friends System would be better only if u add an "ADD" to list feature...coz we only add with whom we wanna be friends with

Thanks Julien!!

your kind enough to let us know here in saudi blog! Thankyou thankyou XD

hmm, but I would think Contacts list still sounds better. I mean think about it, friends would be too specific, while contact is general. hence it would serve a bigger cuase.


Contact gets my vote.

I do think that Contacts is a more general term but...

My vote is for a 'Friends List',   provided that we/they have the option to request/decline being someones friend before we/they can be placed on the list.  Friend means that I want that person in my circle of friends and acquaintances... or on my network list.

Thanks for asking for input and putting so much effort into the Forum!

i'll defend my vote by adding the the same feature is included in contact. how the heck am I your contact if I didnt allow it.

anyway, its the same as in Linked-in


Salman

hehehehe

and just for the record.. I dont want to confuse julien with this. so why not have a poll or something. lol.

Why not call it personal network? friends is too specific, contacts is too general, I'd choose contact if I had to, but I think network is the right name

network is acceptable lol

I really liked that particular comment:
"Friends are contacts, but contacts aren't always friends"

We'll start with a contacts system, with maybe an inner friends folder in a few weeks

Yay!!

lol. Thanks Julien

As I said in my PM, it's not the name we are objecting to, it's the process.

Just make it "invitable".

John wants to be your contact.  Do you want to be a contact for John?   __ Yes       __No

Make it a one click action.  It shouldn't be a burden to say yes or no to a contact, nor time consuming.

Hi guys,

the very first prototype is online (I call it "contacts V2"). Have a look to your contacts, I am pretty sure you'll be impressed how many "pending contact requests" are in your list

I won't explain the whole system for now, I've done my best to make it easy to use.

MisterStretch, the email idea is a very good idea. I've done something like this, but I am pretty sure I could improve it in the "contacts V2.1"

I am now waiting for your comments

(Hope I didn't left too many bugs)

Julien

oh cool.. ignore AND block!

really awesome effort! a little confusing at first but superb non the less. can't wait till V2.5

Thanks again Julien!!
