      People with higher self-esteem have fewer friends in their friendlist, whom they have not met so far. On the other hand people with lower self-esteem seem to build up their social network upon using Social Network Sites, since their friendlists contain of many people, whom they have not met face-to-face (→ Poor-Get-Richer hypothesis).

      Friends connect, share photos and keep themselves up-to-date about their daily lifes[sic] via status messages. These messages are most likely to be broadcasted to all people in a user’s friendlist – selecting a specific audience is possible, indeed, but cumbersome. Broadcasting status messages, however, leads to a so called context collapse – a collapse of different circles of friends users usually collect in their friendlists, simultaneously.

      One of the unifying features of social networking sites is the way that they support public displays of friendship and connection. In blogs this is often shown as a blogroll, in other sites it is a friendlist, whereas in the microblogging site Twitter this function is fulfilled by the lists of who “follows” you as well as who you “follow.” [] The concepts of performance and audience (which have their origins in the work of Goffman, 1959) suggest that where individuals use multiple SNSs we might expect to see differences in their friendlists—differences that would reflect their engagement in different communities and different activiites.

      To do this, one needs to know: - the privacy settings of each friend in T’s friendlist as well as -in some cases, the friendlists of these friends and their friends. [] Scenario 1: Public Friendlist. If the friendlist of the non-mutual friend of T1 is public, then the existence of mutual and non-mutual friends of T1 with the target user T is checked. Additionally, whether T itself has a non-mutual friend (e.g., T2) is checked and if so, whether this friend has a non-mutual friend (if its friendlist is public).
