Livejournal Flags

[dotinthesky]

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.

People who assume all their posts are important would, eventually, find themselves writing for a very small audience. People would get fed up and move on.

Yes, I see you have thought about it a lot... Good one.
