Glitch is a friendly place. It would be really useful if we could add a (private) note/memo/tag to individuals on our friends lists to remind us of who they are. For instance: "my cousin Bob from New Mexico" or "Has that awesome bean museum in her tower" or "Is the next person on the herb route."
Some of us have a bad memory for names and some people change appearances a lot.
As I mentioned on another thread (but worth repeating): One of the great things about Glitch is the way the game-design encourages cooperative activity with other Glitchen: from the ability to plant in anyone's garden to the quests which require giving things (like hooch) to Glitchen or doing things (like digging dirt) with others. Being able to keep track of who your new Glitch-friends are would encourage people to befriend each other. Which is a good thing.
