He posts updates in a twitter-like rate, and this never bothered you as you’re not on BrightKite. But now he joined Facebook Connect on BrightKite, and suddenly all this activity is streamed as his activities on Facebook, and your news feed is flooded. Same for your friends who use FB Connect with blog comments, say on TechCrunch and soon many more.

Until FB Connect, this infomaniacs didn’t bother you if you didn’t friend them on those services as well. Now they bring their clutter with them to Facebook (and possibly same soon to MySpace, and maybe Google Reader with Google Friend Connect? so you’re likely to reconsider such not-really-friends you may have added on FB, and simply un-friend them…

But I agree the graph will not get smaller in any way (as I mentioned), this will only trim the noise and clutter caused by supernodes, which is a great thing.

I think the social graph will keep getting fat and isn’t going to loose weight any time soon (not even until 2011)

Why do you we think we’ll start seeing a major wave of edge removal?
