SELLING! CONSUME! myspace provides yet another way to sell stuff to impressionable young consumers while giving them the illusion they can sell what THEY have. that's why i have 800 friends! so i can sell them my movies. so while i may get lots of myspace love, it's really just exposing me to useless emoticon options and giving me complexes about my body. first of all, don’t talk shit about tom because he’s awesome. second of all, i don’t have a second of all.

My point is that even if Ansel Adams had a Flickr account, there is nothing to suggest that he would have more 'friends' than Stevie Wonder.

In this particular case, number of friends equals number of votes. The difference is that it seems to be based on sheer number of friends, but it doesn't take into consideration similar attributes for friends. For example, the KKK guy could be linked to the black panther guy. They have nothing in common but MySpace would still consider it a "vote." As these become more advanced, you'll see weight determined not just be sheer number, but also by relevance (i.e. DMB fans, D&D players, cheerleaders, etc.). For Flickr, I believe you'll see experts in certain genres, and their opinions will be weighted higher. Just my opinion.
