User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages/@comment-4133-20100513235346

@Dantman, that's sort of the way I feel, though they could also say your followed pages represent a subsection of your interests: 'We may also request that you provide additional “optional information” such as your interests and hobbies for purposes of enhancing your profile among the Wikia community. Any “optional information” you choose to provide may be made public.'
