Watch List Enhancement: Watch a Friend

Would it be possible to add to the watchlist actual friends or other users so you can be email-alerted when they log finds? I've got a new friend who lives in the next city over and when he hits the local caches I get alerted, but when he hits caches elsewhere, I don't. It would be nice to know in order to 'keep up with the Jones's'

 

Thanks!

In your profile, add a friend. http://www.geocaching.com/my/myfriends.aspx

 

I think that's the interntion of the My Friends list but as implemented you don't get any emails when they find caches. If that ever happens I hope that the email sender or subject line has something keyable so as to filter them into a separate email folder.

Amen to that! I would hate to get an email for each log each of "My Friends" logs! Now, maybe a daily or weekly digest either for each friend or one list for all of them - that I could handle!

I'd definitely be interested in this feature. Not globally for all friends, but it should allow you to select which friends to receive notifications from. What would be REALLY cool would be if you could also add other filter criteria, such as only send notifications if this particular friend logs a cache that is within x number of miles of my home coordinates, etc.

It would be neat to see some kind of combined list of finds. Would make group caching interesting... Not all inclusive, but only where they overlap, ie: Team Finds, etc. and you could pick who was in your team. And to take it a step further, if I was going caching with Cacher A, Cacher B and Cacher C, as a team, we would only want to hunt caches that none of us had found.

I would also LOVE this added to the options. My sister and I keep up with eachother as well as watching the "secret" cachers movements (coin search ya know). Is this in the works???
