Advantages: Easy to do

Disadvantages: Some take it way too serious

I read a hilarious review on this very topic today and while I have no intention of trying to match it I thought I would give my opinions on the idea of havng a circle of friends on Dooyoo.

When you are on someone home page or reading on of their reviews there is always the option of adding them as a friend, it is a sort of demonstration that you trust and respect their opinions and appreciate the quality of their reviews. All you do is click on the add link and they will appear in your circle of friends. You can also set up e-mail alerts to advise you when they have written a review and once a day you get an e-mail from Dooyoo telling you who of your alerts have written a review and there is a link straight to it so you can decide whether you want to read it or not.

Once you have added someone the link changes, click on it again and they will be removed from your circle, I have only had to do this a couple of times when one member got a bit creepy and a bit of a stalker and I also blocked their messages as well. The other was just a bully guide who tries to tell eveyone how to write and behave on the site.

It is easy to set up a circle and there is no big deal about doing it, not as if you need to have lots of conversations or mutual rating it is more in my opinion a form of recognition for the good writers on the site who are not bullies or stalkers.
