What is Very Close?
This is one thing I've not worked out on this site. On the Welcome page it says I have 18 Contacts, 14 Close and 41 Distant, but zero Very Close. I've not worked out what that category covers.
I got a sort of answer from Multiply on this, but it's still not totally clear. I would think that friends of my father would count as Very Close according to their rules.
Hi,
We have talked about listing people in those categories, and we may add that at some point. Just for your background, we determine whether someone is "close" or "very close" based on a number of factors. One is the number of tiers/degrees away the person is, another is whether you know the person through a family relationship (your brother's friend is more likely to be "very close" than your co-worker's friend). Another factor is shared contacts and groups.
