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 have used "friends only" once or twice. And that was just to organize coffee. The rest of the time I care not for whom the offence tolls.

I only have the one. There's nothing in my life worth keeping a secret (and I don't mean that in a "poor me" way). Granted, there are some things that I tell only when asked.

I replied once to someone in secret, but that was only because I thought that others might think it was "too much info", and not because I didn't want people to know.

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.

I have nine friends groups: some to keep specific people in the dark, some to filter out the more random people on my list, and some to keep specific people in the know. I rarely am compelled to use more than the basic "Friends only" setting, but I have the ability when the need presents itself.

I'm pretty boring in terms of Friends lists. I created one for "People I Know Personally", which I've only used once. And then the "Everybody but that bastard Cam" list, which I use all the time to complain about that bastard, Cam.
