Is there a reason to Friend yourself? I've noticed that some folks have done that.

Because I like me. :-)

Umm, no. Because if I see my post scroll by as I go through my list, I can go ahead and read/reply to the messages in the course of my lj pass.

So it simply combines Recent Entries and Friends into a single list for reading?

Maybe I should just try it and see what happens. Probably wind up having to deal with a doppelganger or something...

Yes, it means that you'll see your postings intermingled with those of your friends, all in whatever chronological order your style displays. Mine is set up that way and I like it.

Yup, there is one. That way, you can see your own "posts" in the Friends view, hence you can see it easier if someone has responded to your posts etc. When I first started with LJ, I had the same question, and that was the answer I was given.

I had no idea you could!

Sounds very New Agey to me. I Friend myself. I heart myself.

It's Friday.

I did it. It's nice to be able to read everything in one fell swoop, but sometimes if you get a lot of looooong feeds with no lj-cut, it's easier to go back to Recent Entries.

The other handy thing I've done is to split everyone up into friends groups so I don't have to read everyone's posts in one go. Every fifteen people or so, I start another group and add the new friends to it.

My Friends group is still manageable all in one go, which is one point in favor of keeping it small. Of course, that means I miss a lot...

I don't know how folks with 100s of Friends keep up, I really don't.
