[buddypress-dev] "Mutual Friends" and "People You May Know"

[Ponara]

I would like to suggest that "people you may know" is unnecessary, it is in
theory attempting to guess-match you to people you may know based on profile
info and related friends, not an easy thing to do - and facebook has never
shown me someone I "may know".
I'm more hoping to allow people to be a fan of another author or member - a
fan doesn't have to be "confirmed", this way a fan can be kept abreast of
the author's latest blogs, comments, etc via the wire.  It is used to good
effect on 2.0 news sites that are increasingly resembling a social network.
