As previously mentioned, the presence of others on the mesh defines much of the laptop experience.  In order to surface this at all times in the interface, the right-hand edge of the Frame provides an easily accessible list of all the individuals a child is collaborating with in her currently active activity, represented by their colored [[#The_XO|XOs]].  This has a number of benefits.  First, it provides a quick reference of the people she's working with, which updates as new people join and others leave.  As new people arrive, they appear in the upper right corner, and as they leave they simply vacate their current location.  Additionally, the secondary rollovers for these XO objects reveal biographical information about them: name, age, class, interests, and even a small photo.  This makes the frame a great resource for [[#Making_Friends|meeting new friends]], for what better place to meet them than in the activity she shares with them?
