Lurkers

[machy]

I just noticed that I have a couple lurkers on my journal that I wasn't aware of.  If you want me to friend ya back, just leave me a comment and we shall see about it!

I have two lurkers who have been there for months now. I posted and they never responded for me to add them and they never deleted me. Its bothering me lol.

But if they friend you then they can read your journal, even if you friend post it, can't they?

no...you have to friend ppl back in order for them to read your friend's only posts :) (thank god!)

I think they can see your posts. That is how I noticed I had lurkers..because I have been one on someone elses friends page. I had friended someone and they never responded to my request. So the other day, I was reading my friends page and there was a post from her. So I checked and I was in her "Also Friend Of" list. But she had not added me. So I was seeing her posts.

How do you find out about lurkers.
It sounds so creepy!

on your user info it shows who you have friended, who your mutual friends are and then there is a section that says
"Also Friend Of"..and those are people that have you on their friend list, but you aren't on theirs.

Some of those people listed in that section for me are people that I have deleted as friends and they have yet to remove me. But there are four people on that list that I have never had any contact with and it is disturbing to me. Because when someone friends you, they can see your posts, even if you friend lock them.
