I've started to tag my blog postings again with a few relevant keywords, and this actually connects me more easily with people whose blogs I would like to follow, because we are apparently having some shared interests in common.
I know some people that may object to the idea that you could just add someone as your "friend" - without even knowing this person, and even without asking if this person want to be connected with you in a friend-like relationship. And, perhaps this procedure is a little tricky too, the way I am actually practising it as I am not asked to seek for permission fo add someone - I like much of what I read, or I want to be challenged intellectually, so my Friends portrait collage is slowly growing, all the while I have no idea who is connecting to ME. http://elgg.net/_friends/index.php?friends_name=netopny
Of course, the bonus thing about having more friends added is when you can read across their blogs as a collage of shared minds!

This is the menu option 'Friend of' - you can find it under 'Your Network'
yes, I actually DID find this soon after I had composed this notice. So neat (as they say in Vancouver :-)
One strange thing I have noticed. If you select someone as a friend because you are interested, amused, whatever, in what they post about, you can feel a bit deflated if you then discover they haven't selected you as a friend! What's the problem! Have I got BO? How can you tell?
Who says virtual relationships and communites can't be 'real'!
