Critical Mass
These days my friends page has gotten so huge, I hardly seem to find time go though all the journal entries. Its that time of the year, when I go and strip down my friends list. ( Do other people face this problem? )
One important feature that LJ does not support is a way to add a person as you friend, but skip his entries in your friends page and a way to add a person’s feed to your journal without friending him.
Well, they do, actaully. Be not so quick to say something isn’t supported. RTFM!
create a friends group of all the blogs you actually want to read – call it ‘luzrs’ for eg.
Then you’d access that group as http://www.livejournal.com/~kalyan/friends/luzrs
Thats all. And whenever you add a new friend, add them to this group as well if you want to follow them.
I do this with my comics feeds (http://www.livejournal.com/~khorgath/comics)
oops.. (http://www.livejournal.com/~khorgath/friends/comics)
Perfect
Never noticed that feature too closely. ( I only knew we could post it so that only certain set of people can see it )
Well what else can I say other then LJ rocks 🙂
RTFM, dude!

Check the section that talks about “Default View”. You add friends whose entries you want to follow to this group, and everyone else to other groups. When you look at your friends page, you will see only those that are in the Default View group – to see the others, you got to the friends/group page.
Create a “readable” group with only the friends whose entries you want to read, then go to this page
http://www.livejournal.com/friends/filter.bml
and tick on that group as default view. Then you can read only those people’s whose posts make sense ;-)…. I’m doing that this time.
I faced similar problem and I deleted most of my friends.I kept only those whom I met in flesh and also those people whom i know on LJ from long time.
