It was a concept that techies seemed to like, but restricted its viral growth by design. In reality, not many people care enough about their "social graph" to curate and restrict. It's sort of why Google+ really diminished its "Circles" concept - a large percentage of people made a few circles and just lumped everyone in those, rather than multiple heterogeneous circles.
Might just mean that you need to reclassify how close people are before you think of them as friends. I know lots of people, but I don't really want to interact with them on a regular basis.

That's unfortunate, I quite liked the concept of limiting the size of your social graph to one you can actually manage.

Seems like good idea in theory, but what if you have 50 friends and you want to add a new one? The network will force you to delete one friend.
