wow 2 things in 2 days, don’t we spoil college students;) Anyways this feature is freaking awesome. On every social network you have 10 gillion friends but do you really know how it all began? We solved that problem for you so you can detail your friend relationships. This feature lets you and your friend confirm how you know each other. We have a SUPER cool feature that will make this even cooler but that won’t launch for 1-3 weeks and I am not sure if I can talk about it. Anyways here is a screen shot of detailing your friendship.

Facebook Details

What ya think? I think its fun at first to have confirmation wars to finalize details but once we implement the next feature you will see some dope stuff…

    I’ve always wished I could do something like ‘best friend’ or such things. I knew FB would implement something like it but this is great. Definitely exceeds my expectations. Thanks for sharing.

    This is so much fun!!!

    Because, lets face it…”through a friend” or “i don’t even know this person” probably just means “we hooked up.”

    Noah, I love it!!

    Update: I spent nearly an hour at work going through all my friends. It’s win-win becuase a) I realized I should delete about 10 people and b) I forcefully introduced my friends to the cool new feature. ;-)

    You got some bugs to work out of this buddy, I keep getting Did You Know’s that say “Did you know 1% of Stanford students .” WHAT THE HELL IS “.”?

    Also, for you ladies out there, if you are into “.”, let me know.

    haha o man, i’m so special. yeah i think it’s a great new feature, though it would be EVEN better if we could write our OWN thing, rather than have to pick the catagories, cuz sometimes you meet people and it’s like crazy ways. But overall, yeah it’s awsome.

    you can write whatever you want in the “met randomly” category. i think we need to label that one better so people know they can write anything they want in it. glad you get a shot out on the site:)

    ps. thanks for shivani for your positivity! its a surprise…haha

    I think the new feature can be extremely hurtful. how sad is it to find out all the people your promiscuous ex hooked up with before you? i have spend three hours crying because of it and haven’t answered his calls for three days.

    you know what i just realized? one of those people he hooked up with was during the time we were dating. i was planning to marry this guy. why would you make public something that can clearly be so painful to some people. i hope you eliminate this new feature quickly.

    Just Me: I am sorry you feel that way. We are working on privacy features so only friends can see information and only if it is confirmed. Hope you feel happier in the future. I went through something bad awhile go so email me if you want to chat.


  • [...] Facebook launched Social Timeline today. All social networks have friends and connections but we said shit how do you know actually these people? So we created Friend Details where you can label how you know them. A lot of people asked why did we do this but now we have the answer for you. Social Timeline is one amazing feature where you can graphically see a visual representation of your friendships. [...]

    Facebook tries for more FOAF

    If you check the thefacebook.com for updates, you might notice some “friend details” confirmations waiting for you. That’s because facebook now allows you to define what it thinks are critical aspects of the relationships you have w…

    It would be good if “neighbours” was a possible way you could know someone, especially if you’ve known them forever. Also useful if you were in a dorm or apartment building or something that indicated that you kind of lived together, but were not housemates (which is what FB says you are, if you lived together).
