How do you keep track of other Jellies’ info?

I don’t think you have to really like or dislike anyone. Basic memory should do the trick.

I forget what I had for breakfast so I can remember what you had for breakfast.

Most of us have probably felt the way you do at one point or another, especially at the beginning. At one point, I thought about keeping index cards for notes and decided against it. I just rely on memory and ask for forgiveness, if need be.

I used to belong to a web site that had a great feature. On each member’s profile, there was a tab where other users could make notes that no one else could read. For example, on your profile, I could make a note that you like the taste of sweet and salty combinations. If CunningLinguist looked at your profile, he would not see that comment; nor would you. I wish Fluther had something like this.

I don’t. If someone messages me with something it’s all good. If not I just let them be. There are still a few with whom I talk sometimes [not that often though].

I don’t either.
I am friendly with a small handful of members on an occasional basis, but, I don’t see fluther as a facebook, I prefer a shorter friend list anyway. ;-)

If I can’t remember, I can’t remember. I just say so.

Aiee… I don’t want to be tracked, and don’t want to track. The person I was in April is not the person I am now, and I feel the same goes for other people. We all move into different phases of our lives, so what was true about me last year might not necessarily be true today.
If I say something that contradicts what I said before, then by all means, go ahead and call me on it and I can explain why I changed, but to keep meticulous records of everything I said… Aiee!!! :D

I think what Fluther has now is good enough—if I need to find an old comment for reference, there’s a system in place. Yeah, PM and ask. You can even save your PM’s!

We have a limit as to how many people we can form real relationships with, and therefore how many people we can remember so much information about. I remember stuff about people I interact with a lot on here, but otherwise I don’t know crap about the rest of you.

I seem to have a knack for remembering people and their details although it is more possible when I hang around here a lot. I had a friend here who was brilliant but could hardly remember people’s stories. I think either it comes or it doesn’t but I wouldn’t worry about it overmuch.

@janbb Well, I am not that brilliant…:-)
I suffer from the same that janbb’s friend had.
Only from a few Jellies can I remember pieces of who they are, what they have said, and what they have done.
These four, five, six persons are also the ones that I have have PM contact with.
Had I had personal, real life, contact with Jellies, then I am sure I could remember much more.

I have a word document titled Fluther, that I use for storing info about Fluther and some jellies.

@rebbel You are far too modest.

I’ve PM’d my fair share of jellies out there. I picked up on a lot of their traits and what not from different threads I’ve read their answers on, and I assume they did the same.

@rebbel

“These four, five, six persons are also the ones that I have have PM contact with.”

That brings up a good point for me, because I’ve saved about 99% of my PMs, so they would a good source of strictly confidential information for my eyes only.

I have a very good memory. I also PM a lot of people on a regular basis.

If I can’t recall something, I tell the person. Usually if I need a refresher I recall a thread or two, and will search for a reminder.

I have a flow chart….
I only remember stuff about jellies that I pm or have met in person.

I remember nothing, I keep no information nor grudges. I try to, in any event.

I do not expect this of others, but then, I don’t expect very much from anyone.

Fluther is home, family and friends – in all its dysfunctional glory.

Get used to the fact that your own perception of your participation here will never line up with any other Jellies view of you. That said do your thing and NEVER sweat the details! ;)

Spoiler Alert: I just skim through questions and look for anything with @Blondesjon in it. I would feel kinda bad about this if I was the exception to the rule.

I don’t track anyone so I can’t say. I believe you can track someone if you remember a few words from one’s question and use the search tab. I would be fun if we can track someone, remembering how many drama we’ve missed, it would also be bad since someone could keep tracking your questions in order to attack you, like Y!A.

I can’t remember anything, and frequently have to apologize for it. :(

@Your_Majesty

”...it would also be bad since someone could keep tracking your questions in order to attack you….”

That might be the most frequent reason for those people who hide their answers.

I never have, just get a “feel” for certain individuals. It’s called perception, i’m usually a pretty good judge.
