Meta Question

Is there some way that it could be indicated to me, as a user/contributor, when someone in my 'fluther' acts?

Perhaps particularly so as well. ‘Asked a question’, ‘Answered a question’ and so on. How popular would this be?

It would depend on how it was reported. i sure would not want emails each time someone in my Fluther did something!

I just look at the “your fluther” tab to see when people in my fluther ask questions. I guess they could do something similar to the community feed to show when people did something, but I don’t personally see a need for it. If I really want to see what someone has been up to, I just look at their profile.

Well it can easily become stalking so I think it’s a question of a protecting a user’s limited privacy on here. Hey I found you’re song.

AB used to do that (not anymore). The activity of people on your friend list would appear on your profile page. It wouldn’t work here because adds to fluthers are not by mutual consent; you can’t control who is “following” you, thus lead to the stalking that @SeventhSense describes.

Well, friends, I reckon that you have convinced me that my suggestion is not such a good idea.
Although, I might just decide to retain our song @SeventhSense .

@lloydbird Actually your suggestion is a great idea; it would require reworking the whole concept of fluthers vs friend lists. I have little idea how Fluthers sorting method works, but I see no real purpose in having fluther lists. But then, I’m just an oddball dinosaur.
