I also wonder what will be the future of moderators on social sites. I don’t think there’s a name for these folks yet, but some sites seem to have an inner circle of trusted users that act like a cross between editors and moderators.

We’ve yet to roll out a “friends” feature at DZone, though one is in the planning stages at this time (we don’t want to make the same mistakes as digg), and may not end up implementing it. We are well aware of the expert verse script-kiddie problems. Although, I can not release details of the solution, be assured that this is a problem that we are working on.
