Dave Pollard outlines "a set of principles which might provide some clues on how to develop Social Networking Applications that really do work."
CRLF- "the existence of mutual trust, respect, context, and self-disclosure between the parties."
CRLF- conversational ice-breaking
CRLF- physical appearance as an icon of our identity
CRLF- a way to observe the other person's environment (I wonder whether a 'web space' would count here)
CRLF- doing something together, collaborating
