[Air-l] maybe a silly question.. but

[elw at stderr.org]

i would answer yes to both, given the two crudest possible criteria:

1) allows you to "friend" others or publicly indicate your
    contacts/relationships
2) some intent to assist you to find other people with similar interests
    or tastes - "more like this" or "communities" or whatever.

i'm sure that many other criteria could be made to apply, but these seem 
to be the two most common and useful ones.

hope this helps, and looking forward to seeing what other people have to 
say,
