Wanna Know Who's Reading You?

[niankhsekhmet]

My thanks to Vireo who posted a very nifty little tool to find out who is reading you. Its a great way to take a look at who is looking at you, both those whom you want reading your LJ, and those you don't. Check it out.

Know what though? That's not what it is... it's a list of everything from some folks who have read you, to duplicate journals your friends have had... I went through this earlier in the week- not very consistant. For instance "irock_club" came up on friends of mine journals, who don't even know what it is. I know for a fact i've never visited them with the community logged in.

It simply shows those LJ user names who have looked at your LJ and who are not on your Friends list. And only the first 50 of those.

It's just not all that accurate then. Tested it with a few friends back and forth... when log in names I, or friends hadn't used in months, and communities were showing up... it just didn't mesh with actual viewing habits.

Well, I am not that widely read. I think I pulled up possibly less than 25 names. One of them, I know, is Callofdjehuty - which was probably deleted a couple of months ago. At any rate, it picked up on a new reader that is in a community that I just joined yesterday. Like anything else, I suppose, it has its uses but is not infallible.

I read you. I hope it shows up LOL Anyway I dont want to use that only because I like to think about writing for myself first... as a type of therapy. Free therapy but other people may really want to use it.

Hmm... after reading the documentation re: that tool, it was my understanding that it compares friends lists and shows people who have the same people/communities as you on theirs, but who are not on yours....

You've pretty much got it there.

It's basically what journals your friends have in common but you don't.

Interesting tool. pretty useless, but interesting none the less ;).

(And the lessons learnt? Documentation Good!)
