An Open Call for Widget Jargon Standards. (dbreunig.tumblr.com)

Unlike desktop apps, social network widgets have several user POVs. After one too many extended meetings, I'm proposing that the following jargon be adopted. Users can be referred to as:

- Tom: a user with the widget installed. - Dick: Tom's friend with the widget installed. - Harry: Tom's friend without the widget installed.

Hopefully that'll add some consistency. Thoughts?
