i would love to see users that share numerous goals with me, allowing me to build a support network that includes users who are trying to achieve similar goals.
the best utilization of this is apparent within www.last.fm and its neighbor functionality, which displays the similarity of your comparative interests.
if applied, this would greatly develop interuser relationships because it would allow us to practically find and follow users that have compassion for our shared goals.
this could potentially be added as a subset to the zeitgeist within the people tab (categorized thus because it is about finding people, first and foremost); labeled “People with similar goals”. the results could then be simply sorted in order of relativity, supplying their icon, user name, and number of goals.
clicking on their user name would take you directly to their overall profile. the second option is by clicking on the number of similar goals, it would show you the entire list of goals that the two of your have in common.
check the attached image for a visual mock up of potential modifications.
