20120284336RELEVANT RELATIONSHIPS BASED NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT - The present invention provides a relevant relationships based networking environment for establishing member networks focusing on different aspects, of a members life based on generally vetted connections with other members. A member initiates the formation of one or more aspect of life related networks, such as social, business or a particular interests aspect related networks, by inviting other members to connect through primary relationship connections and the other members accepting the invitations. Based on the primary relationship connections the networking environment automatically adds secondary relationship connection members to the aspect related network. Primary relationship connections require prior agreement by both members to the connection, such connections provide for both communication and information sharing. Secondary relationship connections are established automatically by the networking environment based on how one member may be logically connected in a defined manner to another member through existing primary relationship connections in a particular aspect related network.11-08-2012
