I wish EP didn't use any designations other than friend. To me a friend shares all those other attributes when being a friend. There are many "incentive" factors built into this site, I guess the semantics of connection is just another one of them.

puzzles100	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 10:54AM You fan someone, they become a favorite to you. They fan you back,they become a fan. Nowyou two are considered friends. You add someone as guru, it's ,more than a favorite, it's like looking up to them. They guru you back, they're considered gurees and also, you two are considered friends. Makes sense?

pickynancy1234	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 11:02AM You add someone into your circle because you like them, for whatever reason. You then get to choose whether they are a favorite to you, or a guru. Favorites to me are people that I just like, and a guru is someone that I think has a lot of insight or that I learn from. When someone adds you to their circle and they are not added by you, they are a fan of yours. If they chose you as a guru, then they are a guree of yours. If you and the other person both have added each other, then you are friends. Rated: +1Vote for this!
axeman66	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 11:34AM as far as i can tell, if you add someone as a favorite, you become their fan. if you add them as a guru, it means you look up to them and you become their guree. if you both add each other to your profiles as either fans, faves, gurus, or gurees, you become friends.
