Next step..

Now to slowly add a friends list. Could take a while as i work out who's who.

Haven't figured out the niceties and protocols, so if i've added you and you object (or i haven't and you object), let me know.

Thanks for that. May have to look into it when the list gets longer (at the moment it mainly consists of people i want to read quite regularly - a 'quents' list in it's own right - but i can see how a 'really regular' list might come in handy in the future if need be).

Would certainly be less.. awkward than the 'friend culling' sprees that seem to be the other option used.

Most definitely. That's why I really think the thing is misnamed - it's really "Acquaintances", once you get beyond 50 people. Nobody has that many real friends, it's impossible to keep up enough attention across that many people that they're all actual friends. And besides, people like docbrite (Poppy Z. Brite), officialgaiman (Neil Gaiman) and mistersleepless (Warren Ellis) aren't my friends at all, but they're on my "friends" list. That's just silly... so "Acquaintances list", I say.
