What happened to following / followers?
I rediscovered, possibly the first blog entry about Seesmic. It is dated October 8th and it is a techcrunch post. I rescacnned it, there are some interesting things to note, but what I want in mention in this post, is something that doesn’t exist as of now.
The Following / Followers section.
Do you see it in the bottom right section? Two buttons. A following button, and a followers button. Earlier today (or was it late last night?) I saw that Loic Twittered that friends functionality is coming.
soapbox rant I recently had. With friends, I hope rights management is soon to follow. It is also important to note what commenter Steve Rhode said:
Being open is good but being open with user controls and permission is even better. For now on Seesmic, I’ll probably be a lurker but not a poster.
I hope Seesmic takes that to heart, and builds this as quickly as possible. Steve is being true to his word, and I have not seen a video since he posted this. He may just be posting less often, but that is significant. Viva rights management!

We actually had some friends management at the beginning, but there were a lot of problems with them ( the biggest one being that not every account were being created on our Jabber server), so we basically removed them until….today
Friends are coming and will be back in a more simpler version than before that we ll enhance on the go.
About the right management we will support Creative Commons, just need to get some lawyer things sorted out before
