ydn-delicious : Message: Network Privacy

Is there a way to prevent people you don't know from adding you to their
network? There's 2 people on my network - one is my mother, which is fine
(we're mutual), the other is someone I don't know and they do not have any
links saved. Apparently, they have 384 other people in their network as
well. Is there some way to get off this person's network and/or make it so I
have to approve each addition?

Sometimes I wonder what people would think if they knew how easy it is to look at their network. There's some interesting information to be had there. I can...

... Personally, I think it's a little _less_ "creepy" that someone has visibly "subscribed" to the "Tim Schoon channel". At least you know that Person X out...

In real life there are many kinds of "fan", including a person who reads your book (an invisible fan) and a person in the audience at your presentation (a...

It helps explain, but it could be made more clear. Yet I still think there needs to be some kind of authorization put in or at the bare minimum only have it...

That's an interesting system - it takes into account the desires of each person involved. It sounds especially good for people who feel like their reputations...
