But anecdotal information won't help us establish which SNS currently has the most accurate representation of more users' social graphs. In fact, I would think that actually measuring that might be quite difficult. *If* all of the data (XFN and FOAF) are out there then it seems that Google's approach might actually be a really good one. I guess we'll find out shortly... Nick, I don’t think any SNS has a full and accurate representation of my social graph.

That's a great point. At this point all I have is anecdotal evidence. Are you on any other social networks that have a more accurate representation of your social graph? @Kevin, i didn’t really place any evidence. That’s a great point.

Hopefully these two evil companies will merge and then disappear like Netscape did. Google Social Graph API sucks as much as Facebook.

I would deliberately falsify my link info. Theoretically, Facebook has more security. I also do not like the idea of Data Portability where my info could end up on a Social Network that I did not sign up for. I don't mind my Facebook or Linkedin friends having it but I don't want them spreading it over the Internet. I have no interest in having my social graph exposed to the world.

Did I miss it? Nick, I’m afraid that I don’t see any evidence in your post supporting your assertion that “Facebook has the most accurate representation of the social graph.” Did I miss it?
