Today's Survey:

How many different friends groups do you have? How do you most commonly use them? I'm just wondering if I've used them in the common way, or in an uncommon way.

My answers: I have four groups, basically consisting of people near and far, and close and not (what you might call "strangers").

I usually use "Friends Only" for things that I prefer to keep a little more private than public. Basically, anything I wouldn't mind anyone on my friends list seeing. Then there are 6 friends groups.

Three friends groups for subjects that people I've felt close enough (or common interests) to read. However, they are poorly named ("Close friends", "More Personal than LJ-Friends", and "Cancer and Death") and got confusing to manage, so I've added everyone to both lists and post everything as "Friends Only". I went through a phase last year where I wanted to become more private with my LJ habits.

There's a "Kirk Only" group. I created that one for other LJ accounts that I've had in the past. It acted like a private group for those accounts.

There's a group for me and another person.

Then there's the list labeled "Erotic". It's not that active and has a small subset of those on my friends list.

"Public" and "Friends only" are the groups I use most often. "Private" and "Erotic" are both rarely used. I should change that.
