User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages/@comment-13301-20100508143848

I totally agree about the privacy violation concerning this new "feature", which has no other purpose than a mere collection of links that a user could simply put in it's userpage to make them public.

One of the annoyances of this is that the ugly list that appears on userpages, appears also when doing a diff of a userpage, shrinking the diff view.
