Purpose: The Third Social Graph (skypejournal.com)

Purpose should be the third graph, after your social and interest networks. These are the people who engage you in action, or whom you can readily activate for action. They may not be related to you by a common interest. They may not know you well. They share a purpose with you, a goal, and the potential to act toward that goal. This is the foundation for work, dating, civic action; anything where people work together instead of just talking.
