I have a big suggestion in mind and i hope you gonna like it: Why dont you just add some new feature like number of followers someonehas, and also make a way in which people can share status update and followers are gonna be alerted their followed fan has just updateda new post in which will enable then to open that link and comment,like and share.. I think Nairaland could through that way be our naijatwitter.. And celebs are gonnafocus more on nairaland.

When people you're following post new threads, those threads will be added to your followed topics list. Did you know that?

I don't like it. It can never be the 'naija twitter' you want. Same way you can't turn Vanguard to be like Facebook news feed. It's cool this way. If you follow a hundred people, you can't check fully their status, when updated even twice a day. And yep, as Seun said, you can see a new thread created by the person you are following.

good work ur doing mr. seun. but let's be able 2 chat n rant all we want in a separate forum. like a chatroom.
god bless u bro.

Also let's be able to recognize anyone who likes our posts.

I second on this one...not on chat though...unh hmm...Nada! NO CHAT!
I'd like to know people who like my posts...then perhaps be able to like my own posts..that's all!

That has already being argued. Nairaland is trying to create a situation where people like posts because they think the posts are genuinely good and not because they want the attention of the poster.

You will agree that is you had a crush on someone and you wanted attention, you could just go on a "liking spree" not minding if the post makes sense or not but if the person who likes a post remains anonymous, people will like only because they find that post likable and nothing else

What does knowing the number do to you? I don't understand this but it is your opinion sha

man dont you still get it? I mean it should be showing on people's profile, if someone checks your profile it should show that the this person has 200 followers 300 400 or whatever.. Why are you so difficult in explaining things to?

and my question is simple......what is the importance of showing that a user has a certain number of followers?

@op I guess the philosophy here's that some things are just not meant for somethings. E.g A knife won't do much good in cutting a tree ...So there you go...axe, saw, Matchete...etc
**Just Saying**
