Re-reading this, I found that I'd forgotten to say how much I like
AroundMe. I'm very impressed with it so far, and I'm hoping that it
continues to develop.

I'd like to help out with the OpenID/OAuth-based protocol, although I'm
still not sure I understand if OAuth is really the best way to do it.
But I'll look closer.

I think my main point is that it'd be great to develop a protocol to
have:

      * service-to-service notification (if I add you as my friend, both
        your and my services know about it)
      * richer relationship information (type of relationship, some
        extra information (dates, comments), and possibly testimonials
        or other acknowledgements)

-Evan
