So, what most 'social media' sites lack is a hexagonal menu displaying up to eight of your closest friends and allies who can be virtually 'summoned' for advice and support in a time of great need.

Ideally you would press a button and this menu would slide out from the side of the screen with a 'whoosh' noise and kind of crackle with electricity to emphasis that this feature is a dangerous and powerful thing that should not be trifled with.

In each of the eight hexagons would be the avatar of a chosen confidante - who ideally would accept this heavy burden through some kind of notification, "USERNAME wishes to add you to his/her/their Council of Advisors", etc.

Upon clicking one of the avatar hexagons, a modal would appear asking the user to confirm that they wish to ask for guidance, and prompting them to write a short summary of their present quandary. The chosen user would then receive a notification alerting them that, e.g. "USERNAME requests your wise council... this is a matter of great urgency: [summary of quandary".

In dire circumstances you should be able to activate the entire council but the animations for this would have to be absolutely sick and I doubt we have the technology to pull it off
