It's interesting how he disliked XFN (or any standards) because of the rigidity of the relationship types, obviously we can have as many relationship types as we want in Neo4j (last I remember performance drops at around 10k right?)
One of the things the blog post talked about modeling Time and Strength of the relationships. In Neo4j, Relationships have properties, but they also have a "type" (IS_A, FOLLOWS, FRIENDS) and direction. which feel like "super properties" since we can get to them before reaching into the properties data.

This would give us a way to model Time and Strength in the graph without having to dig into properties. Obviously we could do these as regular properties, my concern is with performance. maciej wrote: > > "No problem," says Poindexter.
