Current methods of content sharing include blogs, social networking sites, and social bookmarking sites. This article details the construction and novel features of Friend Lens, a web application that allows users to both author original content and to extract complete copies of external sites using PHP, making it a hybrid blog and social booking site. Friend Lens implements a method of collaboration with the ability to highlight posts and to make a composite of multiple highlights across many users. Composite highlights use a colour scale to emphasise the content that received the most highlights. Unlike popular social bookmarking sites like Clipmarks or Diigo, all of Friend Lens' functionality works with the need to install a browser plug-in. To evaluate Friend Lens, human subjects rated Facebook, Clipmarks, and Friend Lens in three general categories: community, posting content, and practicality of use. The results are reported in this article.
