We should make a subscribe option on Pulse. So you keep up with certain people that you would like to. I mean, why not. It will only add to pulser's experience. #Js

Just like the "Like" button, we don't need this either. To me, a "subscribe" button is like Facebook and Youtube. They are features that are not even needed here. If you want features that Youtube and Facebook have, then go to those places. We don't need it. I surely don't want it.

End of discussion on my end.

I could see this actually being semi useful.

A few of my developer friends post on Pulse about their latest creations. This would actually be beneficial to keep up to date with what they are posting.

Other than that, I don't really see any need for it.

IMVU makes a big deal out of making friends, but I know a butt load of people who DELETE friends because they are tired of their annoying pulses. A subscribe/unsubscribe button would be great. This isn't a feature exclusive to facebook, either. Many websites have this.

i disagree, we do need this, ar at least something simulair to it.

pulse is full of the ''chainmails''... i dont have any interest in reading them. even when scrolling down over the pulse to see if my non-spamming friends have something interesting posted, i could scroll for 5 minutes. . .

subscribe/folow someone's pulses would be a big + for everyone. no more need to search inbetween stoopid pulse's for something interesting. a 3th tab in pulse would get rid of the issue, and also brings friends closer ~ i quickly read over a pulse 'cause it are just too many

if i know someone isn't spamming pulse or sharing chainmails, im happy to put them in my subscribe/folow/favorite tab. it keeps things organized you know...

I like the subscribe idea in and of itself. Do I like it for pulse? No not really.

I would much rather subscribe to something somewhat useful, such as a favorite developers catalog updates rather than the inane random rantings of a bunch of imbeciles. Then again I'm not an attention whore nor do I have an affinity for them.

I've deleted most of the people who posted chainletters and spam. My pulse wall is pretty clean now, and since most of them know how much I hate chainletters and such, they know better than to post them. So right now, I like Pulse.

I'm rarely online anymore to have individual chats with people, and I prefer not to send messages back and forth asking how someone is doing. My inbox is cluttered enough. I like using Pulse to see how others are, and to keep in touch.

If your pulse is filled with imbeciles, crap and attention whores, might I suggest some spring cleaning of your friends list? It might make it more enjoyable to you.

How about an off button for pulse, now there's something we could all use . .
