What does the position of the pins in "People I care about" represent?
- Hi,
In the "People I care about" section of Vine there is a pin to represent each of my contacts. However, each time I've logged in those pins have moved.
What does the positioning of the pins represent?
Thanks in advance.

- Hey Jamie,The positioning of the pins is arbitrary when you first set up vine. You can drag and drop them on the surface to organize them in any way that makes sense to you. For example, you can place pins for people you interact with more often closer to the "me" pin than people you interact with less.The pins should stay in place when you restart Vine. In this beta, if you run vine on a second computer, you will have to order the pins separately there.

- ah ok gotcha, thanks Oren. Obviously I was wrong when I said they moved upon login.
I'm trying to think of a practical use for this. Are you going to use the positioning of the pins to prioritize the display of reports from those people or something like that?
I'm intrigued....

The metaphor is that if you pull someone closer, you hear more. If you push them to the back, you only "hear" the urgent messages. That would add a dimension of volume control over the communications. It also lets you pull someone closer temporarily. For example, if a remote relative is suddenly in trouble, I might pull them closer for the duration, even if I'm not normally all that involved in their daily life.
Oh, and there could be bugs -- if the pins just change positions when they shouldn't, let us know. - thought so :)
Very interesting.

I like this idea, especially the part about volume control. But perhaps having a way for us to easily tell what pin belongs to who and also a way to keep people off the diagram would be nice. For example I have 300+ "friends" on Facebook and to manage that many blank, gray pins would be a nightmare.
