On users' account pages, what does the "Friends" category mean here?
Submitted by Jiminy Cricket on Thu, 12/31/2009 - 04:55I clicked on "Forward to friends" to see what it meant and it added the person whose page I was on to some kind of friends list.
Not sure what that is about. Since we can already see each other's pages showing recent forum posts and comments, I take it that it doesn't serve the same purpose as on facebook where someone has to be designated a friend to be able to see things like that.
Has anyone used this function yet, or does anyone at least know what it's for?
(Since I don't know what the function/purpose of the friends thing here is yet, I clicked the delete option that then came up. So if the person whose page I was on when I clicked that can see that activity, please don't take offense for the deletion. I should've asked what it was all about before clicking that 'forward' option in the first place.)
I think it might update you when your "friend" makes a new post.
If you're a fan of a certain DPer, it might send you an email when they've submitted new content.
Just a guess.

That was something that crossed my mind.
On facebook when someone comments on an item after I have commented, it sends an email notification. I don't use facebook much, so it's not overwhelming. But with a lot of posting, I could see a problem of inbox flooding with that kind of arrangement.
Thanks for the guess.

I tried adding you
thought it might give a list of latest post from friends but it seems to just list you. I think I removed you. No offense just don't want to use it till I know what or how it works.
I would like to be able to follow someone and get a list of only their New Original post but not all the comments.

Thanks sharpsteve.
I didn't notice any posts, either, of the person whom I had added. Just them being listed at the bottom of my page with the delete option.
...and no offense taken. I did the same thing because I don't know what this friend thing entails.
