This concept is interesting. Haven't tried it out yet but will be interested to see what kinda of activities I get on here.

If your friends aren't on there then you're basically showing your stuff to everyone? So these new people might become your friends... If they do become your friends, does that mean you filter them out as well?

Would love to hear the thought behind this ;)

Yes, your posts get shared to everyone but your friends. If you have friends of friends on the service, you will see a feed of just that group.

We currently use Facebook to build the social graph so if you become friends on Facebook, that person would be filtered out. Later, we plan on supplementing this with the address book as well.
