Livejournal Flags

There is one feature missing from Livejournal which I think would be very welcome: flags.

This would solve the problem I have at the moment: being unable to keep up with everyone's journals. I wanted to have loads of LJ friends, my wish was granted, and now I face the daily dilemma of choosing who I should read.

If there were flags, people could choose their posts' level of importance. Then, on a busy day, I could read my filter for "important posts". On other days, when I had more time, I could read the more average stuff.

Right now, I have to scroll back through various pages, scanning hundreds of posts in order to see if I'm missing anything, not really enjoying this thing anymore! I want to get back to enjoying Livejournal, but also spending less time here without feeling guilty I'm forgetting someone's birthday, etc.

just one word: FILTERS

I do have filters, but I still wish I could read everyone! If I could read everyone's important posts, I could maintain some kind of connection with everyone, ya know?

Yes, filters made me so crazy. I now just use them for comms (veggie, literature, etc). And have all the friends together.

But I have only 66 now. I deleted some.
