Friends of Friends

I just thought I'd take a moment to voice my appreciation of the Friends of Friends feature in LJ.  The feature is quite simple but has proven great for relieving boredom.  Some may say that I should get out more, get a hobby, read a book... but maybe it's the voyeur in me which needs satisfying!  Anyway, to those who don't know about it (as I didn't until recently), it can be accessed by visiting your normal friends page and then stick an extra "friends" on the end of the url.  For example, my one is http://slycat.livejournal.com/friendsfriends . My only gripe with it is that it shows all the posts from communities people are a member of.  timmypup was a member of gothic_babes which resulted in my Friends of Friends page being full of animal photos(!).  Tim's now removed himself from that community so at least I don't see those any more.  Rather than be selfish about such things and tell your friends they can't be a member of something cos you don't want to read them (no, that's not what happened with Tim, he's just done it of his own accord ;) ), there should be an option to hide all communities from view.

As a result of Friends of Friends, I've discovered other people who write stuff I find interesting so I've added them to my 'friends' list.  My friends list isn't so much a list of friends as the name suggests. It is a list of people who simply write stuff I find interesting to read :).  Anyway, I've added omega256 who reminds me a lot of a younger nonezumi (especially from his character pics) and he's got a fursuiting interest.  Suprised I hadn't stumbled upon him earlier to be honest (hello if you're reading).  hytiger has also recently added me.  I've no idea who they are, but hello all the same :).

So um yeah.  That concludes this pointless little post!
