Hi all,

Resurrecting an old thread in order to kill it, or at least wound
it. We just deployed a /friendships/add page that is the opposite of /
blocks/confirm. Check out http://twitter.com/friendships/add/mzsanford
for an example. There are upcoming plans to build out that page some
more, so don't everyone reply at once about what's not on there ;).
Since this isn't the highest priority change being discussed I wanted
to get a minimal version out so people could use it while we talk it
over.

Thanks;
— Matt Sanford / @mzsanford
