I Understand Having A Friends List; I Use Mine Fairly Often. But Why Do I Want/need A Favs List?

[Laureano]

Ah ha... a favs list... Okay the only thing you can do with a favs list that you can't do with a friends list is be anonymous to the person who you fav.    It allows you to avoid asking the person to be your friend(or waiting for the person to ask you).    Think of a fav as a bookmark.  By adding someone as a fav, you can easily find their profile page again and access their public info(including what questions they have asked and answered).  With the recent activity screens, you can also see more details(for instance what discussions the person has participated in).   One more thought about favs.  If you are uncomfortable with the idea that someone can see your recent activity you can change your settings.  Under the privacy tab you will see these options:  As you can see, I have decided to have my recent activity viewable only by friends.  I think of it this way, if someone wants to know all of my recent activity, they can ask to be my friend.   My Recent Activity  Recent Activity is viewable by everyone(default)   Recent Activity is only viewable by my friends   Recent Activity is private to myself See Askville's Activity FAQ for more details.
