I too use Runlicious, and so I told him to join up on facebook so he could see my run information. He declined, saying that if he had a profile, he would probably get friend requests from students and that he didn't want to have to deal with that.<BR/><BR/>I totally understand his hesitation, so I would love to see a more controlled environment made available for this coach/athlete type of relationship. In the more general sense, more fine grained control of application access rights would be a huge improvement over what facebook offers today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235511691906958855.post-61162758569816389832008-02-20T12:28:00.000-05:002008-02-20T12:28:00.000-05:00Being able to deploy facebook-style widgets on dif...Being able to deploy facebook-style widgets on different sites would definitely be a big deal. Seems like it's inevitable that people are going to want to break out of social-for-the-masses kind of sites like facebook, myspace, etc, in favor of more intimate and themed communities.<BR/><BR/>I have a social network blog post of my own from yesterday. Its focused on something a bit different than what you guys are doing at Ringside, but I think you'll find it relevant:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://blog.limewire.org/?p=252" REL="nofollow">Instant Messaging 2.0</A>Tim Julienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108662986917309748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235511691906958855.post-48932036517645989382008-02-20T09:48:00.000-05:002008-02-20T09:48:00.000-05:00Hi Bob,Have you considered adding a reputation sys...Hi Bob,<BR/><BR/>Have you considered adding a reputation system and recommendation engine for coaches? Assigning a reputation value to shoes is simple, not so much with people. I'd be interested in hearing what your thoughts might be on that tricky subject.<BR/><BR/>Would you allow a coach to self-identify her/his specialties and personality/preferred interaction model or would you use feedback as the primary data?<BR/>DwightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235511691906958855.post-46947308684044246882008-02-19T17:04:00.000-05:002008-02-19T17:04:00.000-05:00Hi!

I think this blog social network idea is great! I think there is a genuine need for this. It could touch on things of importance to us: how to get a long distance high school track coach to lay off from taking a midrunner/jumper talent and pushing him into longer distances; comments on training on decathlon events; where to go to get gear not normally sold at local shops, lots of stuff!
