Isn't following specific people going to give you a very narrow view of things, though? Of course we can always just follow a wide variety of people (eve ones we don't agree with) but I just feel like this could easily lead to a kind of "echo chamber" mentality where people only get exposed to things they agree with. And if the amount of followers affects how visible your posts are, won't that lead to a digg-like power user scenario?
Oh, and great job with the site. I especially like the clean and simple layout
