Nice article, indeed.

One thing that is important for us to take from this article is the bit
on verification and organization. We want to avoid creating a
MySpace-like network where everything is chaotic and disorganized, and
ascertaining the validity of any user's identity is rather difficult.

Even as we move towards a decentralized social networking model, we must
keep in mind users' desires to keep their contacts organized, and to be
able to verify the identity of their contacts. I think that it might be
a good idea to look into creating a sort of web of trust scheme to keep
contacts verified and organized.
