"interest notifications" -- people like to spam people interested in a particular thing. some people dig it, some don't. is a pain in the arse to have a community for each particular interest.

Would be a nice thing if there were a some sort of thing where you could notify other people about things associated with said interest (or combo of interests) if they had it too, and you could opt in and out of getting notified of stuff because of.

Bad scary thing: easy to turn into spam.
Cool thing: find nifty things.
Default setting: off.

If LJ is "Deep Thought"...

I find the people who send random community invites to people obnoxious. (I just got one today for a community I have no interest of joining.)

I think this would be the same, and knowing LJ it would be on by default.

Same, but if I were in charge of the world, it would be off by default.

I wanna be in charge of bits of the world.
