    The document summarizes the key features of an existing social networking system and proposes a new system that improves on privacy and access controls. The existing system allows searching and contacting potential friends but compromises privacy. The proposed system avoids these issues by allowing users to select different privacy levels for accessing their profiles and only share information with approved friends. It also makes the social network less application-specific so it can be used for both personal and professional networking.
