Examples

“People with higher self-esteem have⟳ fewer friends in their friendlist, whom they have⟳ not met so far. On the other hand people with lower self-esteem seem to build⟳ up their social network upon using Social Network Sites, since their friendlists contain⟳ of many people, whom they have⟳ not met face-to-face (→ Poor-Get-Richer hypothesis).”

“Friends connect⟳, share⟳ photos and keep⟳ themselves up-to-date about their daily lifes^([sic]) via status messages. These messages are most likely to be broadcasted to all people in a user’s friendlist – selecting a specific audience is possible, indeed, but cumbersome. Broadcasting status messages, however, leads to a so called context collapse – a collapse of different circles of friends users usually collect⟳ in their friendlists, simultaneously.”

“One of the unifying features of social networking sites is the way that they support⟳ public displays of friendship and connection. In blogs this is often shown as a blogroll, in other sites it is a friendlist, whereas in the microblogging site Twitter this function is fulfilled by the lists of who “follows” you as well as who you “follow⟳.”[…]The concepts of performance and audience (which have⟳ their origins in the work⟳ of Goffman, 1959) suggest⟳ that where individuals use⟳ multiple SNSs we might expect⟳ to see⟳ differences in their friendlists—differences that would reflect⟳ their engagement in different communities and different activiites.”

“To do this, one needs to know⟳: - the privacy settings of each friend in T’s friendlist as well as -in some cases, the friendlists of these friends and their friends.[…]Scenario 1: Public Friendlist. If the friendlist of the non-mutual friend of T₁ is public, then the existence of mutual and non-mutual friends of T₁ with the target⟳ user T is checked. Additionally, whether T itself has a non-mutual friend (e.g., T₂) is checked and if so, whether this friend has a non-mutual friend (if its friendlist is public).”
