following should have it's own status bar, like below the actual it has a "Follower" bar thing, so you can share news on whatever you're doing (i'm thinking of a place building aspect) or show you favorite-d something
friends should be kept as it is (i find the limit a bit silly, however it does make it more realistic)
and i like the best friend thing as it is |
