sweetalyssm got me thinking about random journals.

scottobearI long for customized random search buttons. The random journal as it is now doesn't do a lot for me, as my interests are usually a bit different than the average LJ-er, (according to statistics, the average LJ-er is a 16 year old girl... I'm Double that age and a male (worse, I'm a pod-person)). What I'd like to see is the user search engine return soon, so you can type in parameters. (and I'd like to add a parameter... "no foul language or l33t" text in a post. That way I could bypass the folks on a rant, or talking smack pseudo script-kiddy code. (and folks could find the same, if they wanted to read that stuff.) Heck, in the theme of Chris's recent post, I wonder if there's a clean way to implement a message size one, too.. "must contain at least 10 words" or whatever. I bet there is. (that'd snip out my Cap'n Kirk Joke...) Or, for example, have it cut out journals that use phrases or people you don't like... (For example, don't use anyone already on my friends list, or my blocked list, or anyone who uses too many ellipses (...'s, a guilty pleasure I partake in myself.)
The random feature hasn't helped me find any journals I like to read in a long time. However, the interests list, and mutual communities are a great idea for mining for new folks. Stef's latest idea of describing a friend and having you guess about them is another great idea.
