There are really only about 30 I give a damn about, though. The rest get a very restrictive, business-purposes only profile. I am extremely hesitant to release too much information online, and only grant friendship privileges to people I know and trust in real life.
Granted, I do know people who have hundreds upon hundreds of friends. But the question is, do you really care about all those people, enough to catalog by hand what they like and dislike?
Haha, maybe I'm just antisocial. Good luck regardless; I admire anyone with the drive to release a pet project. Even if your project fails, you tried. And I'm sure it was fun to make...
if you don't mind - how often do you actually talk to/see the 30 on your list (beyond 2 liner ims and throwing virtual sheep)? what percentage is very often, sometimes, not often?
The core 30: Very often = 50 % Sometimes = 50 %
The other 30 or so (business associates): Not often = 100%
Hope this helps. And if it is any further help when you move to the facebook platform, I try not to install facebook apps I can't see the source of. I know of several other people with this mentality; you may wish to publish source eventually to broaden your audience. Just a thought.
Again, hope this helps! :)
by source - you mean code or author?
you have good points - and we're working on it. right now what we have is a very basic version of what we'll be eventually pushing - which meets our needs but may not meet everyone elses. we just had to make a choice of either being cool vaporware or something that just came out
"why do I need to remember what people like? - anyone amongst my Facebook friends is someone I actually know in real life"
out of curiousity and research - how many people do you like? how many friends do you have on facebook?
