Some changes regarding "Following" people on Scooploop
There have been a few questions recently about what it means to "follow" someone on Scooploop.
As you know users can post either to "Community News" ( for all people in the area ) or to "Personal Wall/Posts".
As example see my Personal Wall: https://www.scooploop.com/user/CitizenW
If you follow a user it means that his/her "Personal Posts" will appear in your Community News Feed, too, regardless of where they live, so you do not have to check his/her profile page all the time for updates.
As of today, you automatically follow people you have added as friends, as most people want to know what friends are posting to their Personal Wall. Of course, if you do not want to see your friends "Personal Posts" in your main feed you can always unfollow them ( and still be friends regardless... ).
We are currently working on some features to make it easier to discover interesting user pages, bear with us.
Have fun.
