If you're too lazy to look at the larger version, the scoop is that they ask you to state how "closely" you know your new friend:

haven't met

acquaintance

friend (default)

good friend

best friend

I'd argue that "haven't met" is completely different than the other four, but we'll see how they use it. And I'm not sure if and how I'd go about classifying the other 142 people already in my friend list. I guess they'll all default to "friend"?

Now if they start to incorporate a few more variables (or relationship attributes), they'll have the beginnings of a FriendRank scheme.

So far this is a baby step, but they're headed in the right direction. I wonder if others will follow--or even try to lead. I wonder if Orkut will let me have more than one "best" friend?

What orkut has done is similar to how you can label groups on msn. Except these are sort of handed to you if that's what you're saying.

If they brought in variables it would become very interesting, maybe that's what'll happen next

I'd rather need better speed than more features.
