I think I just figured out a few more uses for the "Favorite" function.
Put YOURSELF on your OWN favorites list!
This first gives you the feeling of being desired, because then you have someone who has placed you on their Admirers list.
You can send yourself emails, even! And get that "New Message" rush, any time you need it!
Second, it allows you to go immediately to your own profile without clicking and scrolling through the "Edit Profile" and the "View Profile"
Finally, its a nice color contrast to see that pretty blue over on your Favorites list, with all those pink colored subs.
This cracked me up FirmhandKY! (I just did it, too. lol! As good to me as eating a yummy chocolate chip cookie with hot cocoa on a chilly day).I am brand new here and spend more time reading message boards simply to see what people have to say (I like people and just am curious what they think).
Until yesterday when I saw this thread, I knew there were people who had shown up on my list of Admireds, but it had never occurred to me to habitually put 'em on a Favorites list or not. If I don't or didn't put them on a Favorites list - does that mean I am not still reading what they have to say on these boards, or somehow don't Admire them? Not necessarily.
If I do note them as a Favorite does that mean I am a potential "stalker" (love that term, lol)? Not really (to me). It just may mean I like the way they write or think they've said something that one time or other stikes me as insightful or useful to me in my own life (for whatever reason).
I've been on CM less than 2 weeks and spend more time some days than others reading the message boards (maybe some days some topics strike me as more interesting for one reason or another).
There are so many people here and I don't read all the threads every day - am sure there are many I miss where someone is, as we speak (despite the time laspse), saying insightful and wonderful things. So it doesn't make sense (for me) to jump to a conclusion that because someone is on a Favorites list that it means anything - in general- other than that person said something inspiring or insightful that another person liked.
It also doesn't make sense to me to think people who probably do say insightful and wonderful things should get their feelings hurt because they haven't shown up on someone's Favorites list. Maybe a person they Admire just not in the habit of using the Favorites feature to show up on other's Admireds lists; for whatever reason, it's "not the way they do things".
* Although it is nice to know that's why some people may do it
Maybe in some cases, for some people, I suppose it might end up meaning "more".
(Realize I might be stating the obvious).
So - another case of whether somone on another's Favorites or Admireds list being "definitive bit not necessary"? In terms of "meaning something" in a general sense?
