SocialDM:
Lindsay
Suggestion - if you want to send the email via the web interface, could there be a drop down list of people to choose from? I don't know everyone's login ids since FF doesn't show them... I just know them by their user names. It would be nice to not have to go track that info down before sending.

agrt. that or auto-suggest (preferred).

Yeah, but where would the data in the drop-down come from? One of the issues with the FF API is that while I can see who X is subscribed to, I have no way of knowing who is subscribed to X.

In the drop down, wouldn't it just be the people who have already signed up for SocialDM that subscribe to you? (ie. not everyone who is subscribed to you)

I still don't see how that would work. When you're getting ready to compose a message, I'd have to query every other person in the SocialDM system, download their subscriptions, see if you're in them, and then slowly build a list of valid recipients. I could maybe try to cache people's subscriptions when they register, but those could quickly get stale...

I see your point. Hmm...could use SocialGraph API, but accuracy wouldn't be great. (ie. http://socialgraph-resources.g... looking at contacts who link to your friendfeed)
