What is a friend

That's a great question! 'Friend' on a social network doesn't always mean the same thing as it does in 'real life' - that is, you may have never met this person in your life face-to-face. But it's not a meaningless term, either. Generally, social network friends are those with whom you share some affinities - hence, most of the fellow-members on SimpleChurch.com would be friends who share a desire to know Jesus and fellowship with each other beyond the constraints of more institutionalized Christianity.

Just my thoughts, at least...

Thanks for your reply but you haven't really answered my question. You've just explained my reasons for asking it. :)

All that aside, how would I use this friends function? I'm guessing it's more than a contact list like in an email program since it is visible to all.

Sorry for being so dense. I'm sure the younger members reading are shaking their heads cuz I'm just so out of it. Take it easy on me, I'm one generation from the no tech age.

What can a "friend" do that other members of SimpleChurch.com cannot do?

Your friends can send you private messages through SimpleChurch.com. Besides them, this is something only the Administrators can do. You can also set your content—videos, photos, blog posts—to be viewable by "Just My Friends" rather than by the network at large. You'll find many other features throughout the site that utilize your friends list.

This isn't MySpace...you not in some sort of contest to see how many friends you can accumulate here. We encourage you to use the friends feature as a tool to help manage your interactions on the site.

Ah ha! This is the question I should have asked and your answer makes it all perfectly clear.
