I can see how it might be good tokeep friending, but give the option not to use it. I hate it when Ning takes away features. maybe that should be a last resort.

@Xevo you made my point in your post when you said ‘friends/colleagues/partners”. It is much more useful to be able to group the people you want to keep in touch with.

I belong to some pretty large Ning sites and I have hundreds of “friends” there with no way of using sub categories to really define who these people are.

Someone else pointed out also, you don’t necessarily want to use the word “friend” on a business network.
