Pony request: Ability to add questions from particular members to "My Askme."
In particular I'd like to add anonymous questions.
[if there's already a way to do this- my bad. i tried adding names to the tags, but no dice]

Seems a bit stalkery. It might be alright for anonymous questions, but otherwise, my vote is NO.

Could anonymous questions automatically get tagged anonymous?

I disagree. I can follow RSS feeds for individual users AskMe stuff (I'd have linked to yours, but you've never asked a question, you selfless answerer, you). MyAsk is essentially an AskMe-only RSS aggregator, so why not let me do it here instead of elsewhere? My vote is JA.

That sounds easier to implement than the pony request, and less stalkery, I guess. For non-anon questions, you could just add the people you like to your contacts and follow them on the front page sidebar. We pretty much have this functionality, just not rolled into the MyAsk page itself. It'd be more convenient -- okay, I've just talked myself into supporting this.

You could always make an RSS feed of Anonymous questions.

Couldn't you just add "AnonymousAskMetaFilter" in the tags field so that you'll automatically get all the anonymously asked questions on your MyAskMe page.
