writes:Hi guys, we now have "social networking" where you can add friends to a list of favourites. I still need to add the functionality to see all their posts but you can start building your list.There is an "add as a friend" link on the question pages (where the user has a + next to their name) and on everyone's column.You can also see who has added you, and reciprocate that at the click of a button.Enjoy!Any feedback, let me know :-)AndrewPS. Coming soon... You will be able to email anyone who has added you as friend. I think this gets around the problem of potential spamming / the top aunts getting too many emails etc.PPS.

Yes I'm thinking that how it will probably work is you can email people who have added you. So for people to email YOU, you would need to have them added as a friend, if you wanted to stop them emailing you could just remove them.
But.... It's a work in progress so who knows, and I'll have to see how it's used.
Thanks!

 Fantastic idea, thats a good way to overcome potential spamming, if you remove someone from your list does that stop them frrom being able to email you?

Great question and I'm glad you asked :-)
1) There will be a page on your "friends" link so that you can easily keep track of what your favourite agony aunts are writing (this partially came out of my request for what features people want, last week).
2) It lets the other super-cool aunts know that you like what they're writing, because they can see who "friended" them.
3) Shortly, you will also be able to send private emails amongst your network of friends.
Does that make sense? Further down the line more and more stuff will be able to be done with this feature.
