Spotted some commentary on the https://slashfriends.org project in my feed reader. Nice site, but not sure the concept differs from blogrolls.

A /friends page is where you link to the people you like. Remember blogrolls? And the MySpace Top 8? I want to bring that back.

Linking out is generous. It's a free gift that sends traffic, boosts SEO, and says "I like this person."
