@Rob
Cheers for the comment. I think the disparity between how social networks evolve and the flexibility or differences between our online and offline network models will become clearer as is the idea of a central source of identity. Loads of things to mull over ;)

I think I see what you’re getting at. The actual nature of a relationship between two people on the web isn’t easy to describe with a simple link. XFN only goes so far and facebook does have a fairly encompassing set of options for defining your relationship to someone, however as you say there are no means to (easily) present a different persona to different groups of people. It’d get insane choosing which groups could see a certain status message etc…
