I love the clear, uncluttered main page. It's very welcoming and looks 
much easier to use than the proprietary social networking sites.

In my opinion, the "inbox" text on the main page needs more visual 
priority. It should probably be larger and closer to the main 
navigation. I always miss messages on social networking sites. ;-)

Conversely ( ;-) ), on the relationship popup, the group buttons have 
too much visual priority IMO. They should be smaller (with the text at 
most the same size as the headlines in the lists above them)) and 
probably more button-like.

How does the relationship popup relate to the tabs on the main page? Is 
it more for details of other people?
