One thing I definitely cannot share is the number of users, but I wouldn't say we're small at all. > how does your app compare to ryze or linkedin, regarding the underlying > networking engine... > > ryze appears to be a rather simple/straight-forward list of > lists/links approach, whereas linkedin has the ability to allow msgs to > only proceed between nodes if one is a 'trusted' node within the > chain.... Honestly I haven't used the sites you mentioned. These are Multiply's capabilities: There are different relationship types (about 50) that describe the relationship with your contacts. Such as father, fraternity brother, co-worker, etc... You can send messages and post content to people in your network described based on the relationship. For example "my family members", "my friends and their friends", you get the idea... The relationship graph engine can tell the shortest (most meaningful) connection or all possible connections between any two people. It can efficiently check if a piece of content is viewable by a user based on what permissions the creator of the content gave. It's very flexible, which is a great thing if you work in a startup and bizdev people throw curveballs at you all the time ;-) Balazs -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
