[b]Affinity Slider[/b]

+When adding connnections in Redmatrix, members have the option of assigning "affinity" levels (how close your friendship is) to the new connection. For example, when adding someone who happens to be a person whose blog you follow, you could assign their channel an affinity level of "Acquaintances".
On the other hand, when adding a friend's channel, they could be placed under the affinity level of "Friends".
-At this point, Red's [i]Affinity Slider[/i] tool, which usually appears at the top of your "Matrix" page, allows content on your Red account to be displayed by desired affinity levels. By moving the slider to cover all contacts with affinity levels of "Me" to "Friends", only contacts (or channels) that are marked as "Me", "Best Friends", and "Friends" will be displayed on your page. All other channels and contacts, such as the contact added under affinity level "Acquaintances", will not be displayed.
+At this point, the Redmatrix [i]Affinity Slider[/i] tool, which usually appears at the top of your "Matrix" page, adjusts the content on the page to include those within the desired affinity range. Channels outside that range will not be displayed, unless you adjust the slider to include them.
The Affinity Slider allows instantaneous filtering of large amounts of content, grouped by levels of closeness.
[b]Access Control Lists[/b]
-When sharing content with someone in their contact list, users have the option of restricting who sees the content. By clicking on the padlock underneath the sharing box, one may choose desired recipients of the post, by clicking on their names.
