Anahita ™ software or application that is stable, with the existing features working as expected, and it is ready to be used on a live social networking service.

A page only viewable by you (the viewer). This is the page where all the stories from the actors that you are following are aggregated. It can also be considered the place where the one-to-many interaction between you and your social graph happens.

In a social network, as well as Anahita ™, the relationships amongst the nodes are maintained by the graphs (or edges). A graph can be directional: when person A follows person B and receives story updates from the person B, or none directional: administrators associated with a group.

A flexible social graphing model where an actor A can follow the actor B while the actor B may or may not chose to follow the actor A. In this case A is the follower of B and B is the leader of A.

The act of following results into the follower being subscribed to the stories created by the leader. If both the actors A and B follow each other, they are also leading each other in which case they are in a mutual relationship and mutually subscribed to each other’s stories.
