Entry tags:
A cool LJ feature
I don't know if any of y'all have noticed, but the combination of tags and subscriptions means that there's a new way of "subscribing" to someone's LJ -- instead of adding them to your Friends page, you can tell LJ to notify you when they make a post with a particular tag.
For instance, if you were interested in SGA icons but not in SGA fiction, instead of friending![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sga_noticeboard you could go to the Noticeboard info page, click the little thumbtack to go to the Manage Message Settings page, and ask to be notified when someone made an entry tagged 'icons.'
Or, if you want to read my stories but don't have time to keep up with my extremely fascinating life, you could go to my profile page, click the thumbtack, and ask to be notified when I made an entry tagged 'stories' or 'sga' or 'ds' or whatever. You'd miss nifty posts like this one, of course.
(If half the people on my friends-of list disappear today, I'm going to choose to interpret that as meaning that this post has been very influential!)
