Idea for HN: Twitter-like Follow button + new threads-like page

Idea for HN enhancement (I hope)

In order to personalize the HN experience borrow the Twitter Follow button functionality and make a new page, similar to the threads page, to show every post and comment that the users you follow contribute to Hacker News (ordered by time? points? both?)

In order to try (and discard) the functionality and do not disturb users that don't like it, put the Follow button only inside the users profile page.

The new threads page link can be showed also only in your own profile, it could be public or private (setting?).

I don't see a reason not to mix the upvote/downvote structure with the followers/timeline scheme if we can come up with something good.
