Who has time to add their social graph to Facebook? If it's important to you, you'll find the time to do it.


My priority inbox was pretty much on the nose from the get-go. Only a few slipped by, and they were frequent mails from lists that I may have wanted prioritized anyway, as far as any computer system would know.
