Hi,

I am currently redesigning the contact system, and I have a few questions. What name would you choose for this feature, "Contacts list" or "Friends list" ?

Could you please vote here? http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PNCLQ6B

Thanks,

Julien

Julien,
Should have both. First with contact list : that lists all contacts within the site. Then each individual user can have friend list: of their own friends within the site.
How's that.

Thanks for your votes!

75% of the participants voted for "contacts"

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

Contacts can be an acquaintance and not really a friend. A business contact, a school, a restaurants etc?

Hi guys,

the 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.

I am now waiting for your comments

I'll soon improve this version - I hope I didn't leave too many bugs
