social networks and time: visual thought on classifications
After working through my first diagrams it became apparent that there some overlap, and this over lap was driven by the users of these communities.

Based on the original visual thoughts, I’ve grouped a number of existing networks to best describe where they fit with one another.

Jye – This is definitely along the right lines. What you’re decribing is a trade-off between no. of relationships & time spent on each relationship.
Can I suggest that you check out Christopher Allen’s stuff: http://www.lifewithalacrity.com
