"Jaiku, the micro-blogging Twitter  competitor, has a couple of new tweaks that let you better browse the site and manage relationships.  \nThere's now a better way to see your followers, in addition to your contacts.  With a new one-click options, followers can become your contacts.  If you're halfway familiar with most of these micro-blogging tools, the whole \"follower,\" \"following\" and \"contacts\" distinctions won't be a bit confusing.  The other new feature for Jaiku is called \"People you might know\" which looks to be slightly similar to networking tools you see with LinkedIn.  People You Know lets you see a list of newbies that people you follow have already added as their contacts.  \nIt's a great way to extend one's network, and a useful tool for establishing new relationships.  Facebook  is taking similar concepts into consideration with the reconfiguration of its social graph  for search options within its site.  It also removes a few steps on your end for finding more friends, as it's quite likely that you'll know someone that one of your friends already knows, and is a more effective way to network than simply showing an \"extended network\" as Friendster  was famous for."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
