New Friends

[plumtreeblossom]

Hi all. Just a request -- if you friend me, can you let me know in a comment or e-mail? For some reason, LJ doesn't notify me when someone adds me as a friend (I could probably change that but I don't know how). I just went to that "Who's Friended Me" thingy that's linked on beowabbit's LJ, and a whole bunch of folks had friended me and I didn't know it. I do tend to friend back most of the time, and I don't want anyone to think that I'm snubbing them. Thanks!

This page has a checkbox for getting notices about people adding you as a friend. If you're a paid member, it also has a checkbox for getting notices when someone removes you as a friend. There are some people who I don't know very well whom I'm thinking of taking off my friends list, but I worry what reaction they'll have when they get that notice.

Most folks pre-empt it with a private message or public posting to their journal. I've gone and created a new Custom Friends Group called "Friends List" that I use to separate out "Contacts" from "Friends" and did a batch move of all my standard Flocked posts to that filter. Seems to work well.
