Title:
Profile flag for presence in another's circle

Area:
profile

Summary:
A flag on certain usernames when they are listed in the profiles of others, whether or not you have subscribed to them or granted them access.

Description:
The usernames of people in your own circle are flagged (with <em> and <strong>) when they appear in the profiles of others. However, there may be particular other users (who you have no desire to subscribe to or grant access) that you would like to be flagged about when you are looking at the profile of someone else.

You could, of course, search for them yourself, but the human memory is a fickle thing and one may not remember all the people one wanted to notice.

One would enter the usernames in a list somewhere (with some sensible limit for list length) and then see a special character after the username when it appears in someone else's profile list (maybe even one's own).

This could work in conjunction with the Notes feature if that is brought over from LiveJournal.

I think this would rapidly get very cluttered-looking.

I can't see how I'd use it, but I don't think I have anything against it, as presumably so long as I don't put anyone in my list, I won't see anything different from how it is now.

I think the Notes feature should cover this need, without adding more visual clutter. I already have difficulty keeping straight the difference between strong/emphasized names on profiles.
