While I was trying to make the breadcrumb working in other environment i just thought that a social engine should have its own "brheadcrumb " system. I wouldn't call it breadcrumb but more then a path history, as you navigate trough the graph from node to node by crossinf edges, a path is formed that is more something like a cronology, but not exatly... Because to reach a certain node in the graph there can be different path, or maybe just a possible single path - paths can really really interesting inside graph navigation and i think studies should be address into this as i personally think that a normal breadcrumb doesn't tell that much about. The Königsberg bridge problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_of_K%C3%B6nigsberg) is what started the graph theory ion modern mathematics. People make theyr own path patterns and so i think that at least wil be nice to store this data somehow. I am thinking of building some kind of tracker that can do this in anahita so that we just start collecting some kind of rawdata, and later we can see how to use this data, possibility can be by algoritm that suggest you the next node to visit, or that understand your way of traveling inside the graph. What you think about this? i'll carry on my reasearches and let you know if something else pop up in my mind. #suggestions

I think so too. Joomla's default breadcrumb is good for a CMS but not too sure if it is working for a social engine.
On the other hand does a social network need a breadcrumb?
I couldn't find one on facebook, twitter, flickr, and youtube.
Maybe we should get rid of it all together.
