Question: If you don't have the "watch" function, how would you distinguish between which conversations get you IMed and which don't? The ability to control that seems kind of important to me.
My take: I'd like having all three. I'm not sure how best to expose it to the user UI-wise, or what language to use - it could be framed in various different ways - but the core option seems really useful in managing the new problems that arise when you start mixing speeds in a single conversation.
Data: I read LJ in three ways. I have my "always check" group, my "check if there's time" group, and the odd journal that I don't follow regularly but will surf to every once in a while (2-10 months) just to check it out. Not exactly the same three categories, but hey.
