On friending

[caranfindel]

Before the LJ redesign, my home page used to show updates from people who weren’t on my friends list, but I had visited their pages recently. I didn’t realize how much I needed this until it went away (is there a way to get to it that I'm missing?). There are so many LJers who I used to view regularly but never friended for some reason. Anyway, as I find them again, I’m friending them, and as I’ve seen some people have friend policies, I guess I’ll share mine. If I friend you, it’s because I want to follow what you’re doing. It doesn’t mean I expect you to friend me back or that I’ll be hurt if you don’t. It just means I don’t want to forget you’re out there and miss whatever excellent things you’re posting. If you’d prefer I didn’t friend you, that’s cool. Just let me know. No hurt feelings, I promise.

And it would remind me to stay off ONTD, because every time I clicked on one of those dumb links after I'd logged into LJ, it'd clog up that widget with ONTD crap instead of interesting SPN things. XD

And that little red x to make them go away was almost impossible to click on my ipad for some reason...

This is the second post on LJ I've seen in the last 24 hours that was about being more pro-active about friending people and wanting to keep abreast of stuff on LJ. I know we are an ever-diminishing social networking platform, but that sentiment and activity makes me really happy. <3

Hopefully it's a good sign!
