Friends of Friends
May. 28th, 2002 06:13 pmBeen playing with my friendsfriends feature. For those who don't know what it is, you can put "friendsfriends" on the end of a paid account's URL (mouse over the link above to see what I mean) and instead of their friends, you get a view of all the friends of their friends. It's kind of funky, even though you'll only ever see a small fraction of the journal entries of all of them if you have very many friends with friends--and you'll also see any posts to communities of which they're members. Then, if you're curious, you can bring up the info page of the people and look for the bolded names in their friends/friend of lists, to see who you have in common.
I've been trying that with a few random people in my friendsfriends list lately, and...to my lack of surprise...most of them are friends of
malver. (Hi, Malver!) I swear, that guy must be friends with half of everybody on LiveJournal! I did an incest map on him once, and it was the fullest I'd ever seen one. I don't know how he keeps up with them all.
