following / being followed by people in your profile area

What does it actually do?

I'm just curious & not complaining or owt but I don't seem to have grasped what benefit I get from it.

TIA

It's just a case of people who have taken an interest in something you might have said or done, someone who maybe feels they have something in common with you. It's nothing to be concerned about, I have lots of followers on facebook due to my interest in the German Shepherd breed and my interest in cycling, I don't think I have any "stalkers" or at least non that I am aware of

I don't know. So I've decided to follow you and see what happens.
If you see a figure lurking in the shadows everywhere you go ... that'll be me.

Well when you log on it shows whether anyone you are following is logged on. I don't know other than that myself. Though there might be some settings whether people need to be following you to message you that you can set?

Which is visible in the menu you get by clicking your name.

I've never looked at my newsfeed before... I can see what other people have been up to except I don't follow that many people!

Ah ha, that's useful, thank you. I'd never clicked on news feed before.

It all makes sense now

I'm following you too.... And I can tell you you spend too long on here and don't get out on that bike enough

I'm forgetful.... Of course it will slip my mind!

You should have heard me on the phone today trying to answer security questions (not ones I'd set up myself) about my account.... And saying things like I don't know.....

It's only four years ago!

Yep ... My memory is closer to 4 minutes!!

I can offer Mr Summerdays multiple cups of tea... He only gets about half of them.... And sometimes teases me that he is still waiting for the previous cup....

And you expect me to remember 4 years?
