Facebook Friendship Pages to make your interactions with friends more visible

Filed under: Web services, Social Software, Facebook

Facebook's next big feature will be the "Friendship Page," according to a post on the Facebook blog. These new pages will gather all the public interactions between you and each of your friends -- back and forth wall posts, photos in which you're both tagged, and events you both attended -- and put them all in one convenient page. Friendship Pages will be visible to anyone who's friends with one of you and has permission to view both of your profiles.

At first glance, Friendship Pages don't sound like they could affect your privacy on Facebook. All of the information they collect is currently available to your Facebook contacts, so these pages won't expose anything new. What they will do, however, is make certain friendships visible in a way they weren't before. As Marshall Kirkpatrick points out at ReadWriteWeb, covert friendships and even secret relationships that would have normally been lost in the shuffle of your friends' busy Facebook walls will be all too visible on a Friendship Page.

Facebook, on the other hand, is framing these pages as "telling the story of friendship," and furthering the company's mission of connecting friends. Wayne Kao, the creator of Friendship Pages, says they're designed to bring out the human side of Facebook and bring back memories you've shared with friends.
