      <outline text="I enjoy social networks">
        <outline text="I have many far flung friends"/>
        <outline text="IM, phone, even email are too disruptive, demanding"/>
        <outline text="Blogs are useful, but not necessarily personal"/>
        <outline text="Social networks, applications add a personal, low demand aspect"/>
        <outline text="Complements other tools"/>

      <outline text="After the second network, though, get tired of adding">
        <outline text="Profile data is essentially the same"/>
        <outline text="ID manager isn't complete enough for whole profile"/>
        <outline text="Profile and identity aren't the same, anyway"/>
        <outline text="Consistency is a recurring costs"/>
        <outline text="Must change all networks"/>
        <outline text="ID manager cannot address friends"/>
        <outline text="Re-adding all the same friends is a drag"/>

      <outline text="How about a profile, friend protocol">
        <outline text="Can use many blog servers as Open ID identifiers"/>
        <outline text="Expand this to provide structured profile data"/>
        <outline text="Social networks can query and refresh as needed"/>

        <outline text="Could probably be done by simple link traversal"/>
      </outline>
      <outline text="Before I sign up for any more social networks, I want to see at least one that re-uses existing data"/>
      <outline text="I will build an open profile and XFN data if I never have to do so again"/>
      <outline text="The value of the network is not the profile, friends">
        <outline text="This is the minimum structure need to hang exchanges"/>
        <outline text="Facebook has rich applications for interaction"/>
        <outline text="Twitter adds a novel modality, Pownce is trying to clone"/>
        <outline text="Even MySpace foreshadows the more interest interchanges other networks enable"/>
        <outline text="Social applications should welcome  not having to re-invent the wheel"/>
        <outline text="Would allow them to complete more on the social side"/>
        <outline text="Network would be a given"/>
