BiJeff's blog post - a thought provoked from the Forum

i was just searching through the forum to see if NN had ever disclosed how they arrive at "Other NN users think these are my best pics". One of 19 results that came up, was a thread started by Saravin back in January of this year. She was asking about if NN could make it so that us users could also post our own personal favorite 5 pictures of other NN members.

I thought that was intriguing.

Because it is only 5 pictures that we post, people don't need to feel bad if their picture isn't one of the 5. When someone has 200+ friends, like I've been lucky enough to snag lately, it's a real lottery as to who gets to appear in the favorite 5. I mean really, I can't have 'just' a favorite 5, that's plain crazy talk!

My friends have unique things about them that attract me. There are no consistent 'types' I have discovered. And I have to admit, I didn't expect that when I first signed up here. I was pretty finicky when I first joined, but that has changed a great deal since I've been here. Shaved guys, for example, used to turn me off. I've done a total 180 turn on that, though, and have I ever! Adding diversity to my taste in people I think is a good thing, here in my room by myself...
