Facebook launched Subscribe in September, as a way to follow people on the site, without adding them as friends. It’s particularly useful for users with public-facing profiles, like celebrities and members of the news media. Many bloggers and reporters are using it as a way to promote their content, without sacrificing privacy by adding strangers to their friends list.

I’d like to be able to track how many people subscribe to my public updates --ideally, ThinkUp would present this information in a manner identical to the way it tracks Facebook friends.
