Comment

Comment by extension

- scaling into friend-of-friend territory will cause email traffic to grow very quickly and needs limits (namely comment visibility has to stay in the friend circle of the original message)

- messages are pushed instead of pulled, which is a waste because not every status update from every friend will be read.

A rapid scan of the site did not reveal any solutions to these problems, which are indeed huge problems. Ashton Kutcher can't send ten million emails a day. Social needs to be built on a pull protocol.
