Facebook, Twitter: networks, social friends, the era of “1-chon” connections.
* Friends: sorted alphabetically (ga, na, da, ra…).
* Close friends: same alphabetical sort.
* Often-visited / liked friends… sorted order.
TO BE: a “super-connector” generator — not merely for building networks, but for the redistribution of knowledge.
* By the user’s job (and their friends’ jobs),
by the type of data they upload,
by the type of groups they’ve joined,
by the sponsors/ads they’ve liked.
* Stranger effect, big data, the era of weak ties (small world).
* Start closed (cooking, photography, music…) → expand access and scope (business, trade, production, distribution).
* Listify and templatize the success list — turn it into a direct revenue model.
(If others succeed via the path of a successful customer, share the revenue.)
(e.g.: package idea → manufacturer → patent → sponsor → successful production → sales.)
* Robot feature for relationship management: birthdays and anniversaries taken care of.
(But with limits on target selection, so the recipient doesn’t just feel like it’s a mass greeting —
they can tell how they matter to the sender (1-chon, 2-chon).)
* Expanded service touch-points: dedicated apps or tiering for cafes and company intranets.
(Expansion of the weak network.)
* Per-group (categorized group-creation) function for connecting weak ties among members.
* Weak ties often begin not through phone calls, emails, or conferences,
but through personal, face-to-face meetings. They also reveal their value when you help someone first, without any purpose. → Leverage home-cooked meals or social funding; support study-group activities.
