The Benefits of Friends on Profile Page

[samurai-turtle]

OK, I got asked a question about what extra features are added for adding someone as a friend on your profile page. And unfortunately I did not have an answer for them (I told them I would have to get back to them for an answer). And I thought it might be a good idea to get a general answer for everyone else to see.

There are absolutely no extra features added when you've added someone as a friend on your profile page. All it does is simply show who you want to associate yourself with on the site.

OK, that is interesting. Not that I doubt you Nevo. But, I would like to hear something from the "site staff".

To my knowledge there are no functions that are linked to it.

There is one feature actually- When you go to Quick Navigation->Community->Member Status Updates, you can choose to filter the list to display interactions that your friends have done, whether they post a status or comment on a profile.

(Quick Navigation is the small icon next to View New Content button at the top right of the page under the banner.)

I added a few because I wanted to find them easily. Some people are very talented but post rarely. So in order to avoid missing their creation, I search their contents once in a while to make sure I've seen everything. That's my use of this feature ;)
