RBC is becoming a trusted network oriented site. JD Jason Davis started the trend himself but it is catching on like wildfire at the grassroots level and going far beyond what he ever envisioned.

Here's the real goods though. You can't depend on your unknown "friends" to defriend you because most of them signed up and never participate. You have to cull the dead wood yourself.

Who is willing to join me in making RBC a unique social network in which the members actually have a living connection to their online "friends".

Are you willing to put your friend list on the bonfire in the cause of social network integrity? Come forward friends and testify! Who's with me?

NOTE: Every pop psychology book says that you can only have a personally meaningful network of 150 people. Everything beyond that is like a client database or fan club.

On Linkedin you need to be connected to see people. That's not true on RBC. So what value are your friends unless we limit them and thereby give them value.

The only current value to having friends is that you can mass mail up to 500 people. But let me ask you this: do you ever get good mass mail on RBC?

Leave mass mail to the groups. That way you get mail about a topic you are presumably interested in.

THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT TO THE # OF GROUPS YOU CAN JOIN TOO.

I have adopted Maren's approach, I will not friend anyone who does not have a pic, and active profile and I have some idea of who they are.
Yes, I seem to remember that coming up when we were talking about bacon. But the people following you might not be. ;)
