General Question

[Rusty]

What does "Following" mean? When someone is following you, does that just mean they want to read your reviews? If so, I don't understand why anyone would follow me, because I have only done two or three in the last year.

Actually, I did a really kick-ass review a couple of months ago, but when I tried to post the damn thing, Goodreads farted, and it never showed up. But I digress.

[Rusty]

Thanks, Bunny. Maybe this weekend I'll go look at all the positive reviews for Traveling Vampire Show, and that will piss me off enough to re-do that kick-ass, decidedly negative review.

[Dave]

I have two followers, and they're very devoted. I'd like to think they would die for me.

[Rusty]

That's a good idea, Bunny. Dave, order them to organize a parade in your honor.

[smetchie]

me too. I think maybe when someone friends you and you reject them, they're still following you maybe?

[Kasia]

I'm following Bunny, everyone should follow Bunny - the parade would get longer then.

[Harry]

I always feel like some one is following me, but I think I'm just paranoid.

[Rusty]

No you're not. I am following you.

[Harry]

I knew it!

One of my followers is named sauce-pot. I love that.

Rusty, they don't just see your reviews, they also see your wry and pithy Haters Club banter. Maybe they're lurkers.

[Kasia]

Actually they only get reviews and status updates. You get Rusty's THC banter because you're on his friend list, but the follower bunch doesn't get that privilege.

And I like the sauce-pot thing too. So cute.

Ooh, I didn't know that! I'm only following two people who I re-requested after I lost all my friends and they never come on.

Don't listen to me. Great. Tom loves it when I'm wrong! >:{

[smetchie]

sauce-pot is a great name for a pet. or a band.

hey, I resent that. I didnt want to add you as a friend, but I liked your reviews and added some cool fucking ass books to my shelf. You should be flattered to have followers. Sheesh!

Story of my life:
0 people are following Steve

[Kasia]

That's what you get for deleting your profile.

[Kasia]

And I just fixed that:
1 person is following Steve

[Kasia]

There.

Umm...I guess I'd better go review something then...
