His model (Friends Collection) is doing view duty. Shouldnt the addFriendLi method be apart of the controller binding the Friend(s) model and AppView view?

View on HN

Yeah, that ought to be in the controller or provided in a helper method outside the model.

Backbone Views and standard MVC controllers are synonymous so I placed it in the Backbone View.

Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. I haven't gotten around to dabbling in Backbone yet.

I looked back at the code and you're right so I patched it up.

Thanks!
