!rant && feature_request
Could we have option for being notified when particular user posts something? There are people here that i'd like to "follow".

I imagine it would need some granular control there (for instance being notified about user rants but not necessarily comments).
Also it shouldn't be visible for anyone - meaning that you don't know if and how many people "follow" you just to prevent it from being twitter-like outlet and popularity contest.

Thoughts?
