I know Karen M. suggested that the best way to find friends is to make friend sets. I have found that to be true. What I did was make my own folders so to speak. Friend set folders. You can add folders to the Friend sets easily.
1. Go to your Profile Page
2 Click on My friends
3. On the left, click on the orange button that says Edit Friend Sets
4. Just under the "edit Friend Sets: "friends" it says in Blue letters "create a new friend set" Click on that.
5. A small white box will appear and you can name your "folder" I have added Daily Friends, Family Religion and Best Friends to my folders. You can only add one at a time. Make all the folders you think you will need or make them as you need them.
6. Now I went to one of my articles. I clicked on a friend who commented and went to their name space.
7. Now under their "send Mail" button you will see friend setting. Click on that
8. a list of all your folders or Friend sets will appear.
9 Simply click on the folder or set that you want this person to be in. and that set or folder will go into the right box.
10 Now go down and click on what you want to be kept in the know about... articles, images, video etc and click save.
It may take a few days to get all your friends set into the correct folders you want but you can easily find them when you want them by clicking on your My friends and the folder you want to check out.
I have added the ones that I check on each day in a "daily friends" folder.
I do hope this helps you to find your friends articles and such.

It is easy enough I thought.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the tips though anyway.
I have too many friends to keep up with if I just use the normal feed. This works for me as I can keep up with those I really want to follow more closely.
I like the old way Gather used to be....
Great and comfortable tips.
( still I have all the connections in one list, Friends :)
Not so much how those of us who are connected will STAY connected but how the new people will find an immediate sense of community. That is what I felt at Gather, an immediate welcome and feeling of getting to know people. Plus, I didn't have to go to their pages and see their private pings and comments all over the place, let alone information about every group they'd just joined or whatever. It just seems a bit creepy to me. But some people probably love it.
Maybe I'll get used to it. I am truly SO grateful for the people I've met through Gather. I'm just not grateful for the upgrade at this point.
I really look for some changes in the future. Dont Go! I will miss you. :(
