Honestly, the entire "follow people" idea I dislike, doubly so in a site this size. There's no point to making a list of buddies when they collectively post maybe 2 things together every 12 hours. I'm checking constantly like every other site I use, I don't need less content. More generally, being encouraged to "follow people" when you start using the site makes it seem like the site's all about just a few people. Which it is, but that's not something that needs to be talked about right now. It encourages people to follow the big names, which leads back into the perception from the outside that something's fucky with following when a couple people have thousands of followers. If I could change Hubski, I would remove the feed and following mechanics entirely. Minus tag following, the whole thing serves no purpose for me. Keep filtering as it is, and global could be something more interesting.
