Huh, interesting. The list formerly known as "Friend of:" is now known as "Read/Trusted by:" in everyone's lj userinfo page. I like the change. :)

not on mine...odd.

Hm. Maybe because you have your "Friend of:" hidden to everyone else?

[fiannaharpar.livejournal.com]

Hrm, I didn't think that it would matter if they were changing the code....the fact that my page is in Dutch is probably more of an issue......

[sylke.livejournal.com]

Your page is in Dutch? Awesome! I noticed the name change; do you have your LJ default language set to Dutch or something? That might be it, then, if they haven't translated the new text to every language yet.

[fiannaharpar.livejournal.com]

Sorry, didn't have the chance to respond to this yet...

Yep, my default language is Dutch :-)

And yet the other list is still known as "Friends." Interesting; you'd think they would have changed both if they were going to change either.

[sylke.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you'd think... I'm guessing since it was done today (I barely skimmed the comment flood on news, but the first comment on the change was on page 6, dated today), it's still a work in progress.

hmm.. now what will we do for a verb when we "friend" and "unfriend" people? assuming they're going to change the other to match.

Nathan mentioned a while ago that the "friends" list should really be more of a "contacts" list, anyway. Orkut seems to have the same (faulty) terminology, using "friend" to mean "first-degree contact person". Wonder if they got it mostly from LJ? They should have a way to list friends as "friend", "co-worker", "classmate", or just generic "acquaintance" or "associate" or something.

Maybe, "Your associates page has been updated. You can view your new page here." Does that mean you'd then dissociate from people? ;)

Likewise, AIM has a Buddy List while ICQ has a Contact List.

Mine still says "Friend of:" too. Perhaps it's a paid account thing?

*blink* No, now mine's back to "Friend of:", too. Must've been just a trial or something...
