+Django-elsewhere allows users of a website to provide and display information about their 
 other online social networks. The project was created to let Pownce users 
 show their friends what other online social networks they participate in. 
 The hyperlinks to other profiles make use of the XFN rel="me" standard [http://www.gmpg.org/xfn/] (http://www.gmpg.org/xfn/), 
 which enables auto-discovery of social network profiles which the user has chosen to consolidate

+into a single identity.
 
-In addition, Django-elsewhere provides a JSON response with the user's claimed URLs and friend/follower relationships 
-(represented as user ids for graph edges in and edges out). An example can be found at /interface/elsewhere_info

 About the models:
 -----------------
 
-There are two chunks of information considered interesting to social network portability:
-		
-Edges In and Edges Out - These define 'friend' relationships between users.
-Claimed and Verified URLs - Assertions of a user's identity in other social networks.
-		
-Edges In and Out is application specific but fairly easy data to obtain for a site owner.
-		
-Identity URL assertions can be obtained through a GUI which can be mutually interesting to 
-users and interesting to data collectors. Daniel Burka (Pownce designer) and I spent a lot of time thinking of how to gather these 
-assertions from users. We decided that while online identities take one form to a data collector 
-(a profile URL), users perceive online identity in three forms:
+For Django-elsewhere, the online profiles have been divided into three categories:
 
 * Social Networks (online social site profiles)
-* Instant Messengers (screenname)
+* Instant Messengers (screennames)
 * Websites (can be used for other types of online profiles such as weblogs or OpenID providers)
 
-We really wanted Pownce users to get immediate positive feedback for providing Pownce with their online identities. 
-Pownce users are not only contributing to social graph data, but are also displaying links 
-and profile data on their application profiles for their friends.
