Paul Boutin · 10/29/07 03:39PMTesla Motors, the Silicon Valley maker of superfast electric sports cars, has fallen behind schedule delivering its first 100 cars to the Googlionaires, George Clooney and other buyers who ponied up $100,000 apiece.

The biggest headache on sites like Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn is deciding your friend threshold. Don't take my word for it — MySpace founder Tom Anderson has a private profile, and even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg might have doubled up on his own site. Instead of making you wade through bad friend requests and pointless updates from people you don't know that well, the double-profile technique puts you in charge of your own friend network. Here's a three-step technique for splitting your online presence between your "friends" and your real friends.
