Man, &quot;befriend&quot; is the one part of the article I can totally stand behind! Why the heck doesn&#x27;t my computer have a &quot;befriend&quot; command? No wonder FB&#x2F;LinkedIn&#x2F;every webapp ever is beating us (meaning the FOSS OS community, i.e. Linux) on mindshare.<p>(You could implement this different ways, but I&#x27;m imagining that once you friend someone they can see a select subset of posts on your computer. For me that would be status posts, some photos, some WIP code, etc. This would be a huge deal. Think about how many webapps it would make unnecessary.)<p>EDIT: Less flowery sentences.
