Subscribe to people

If you admire a person's writing skills or wisdom, or they are a friend and you would like to read all of their posts it would be good if you could subscribe to their posts.

I realise this could be insecure and help people to "stalk" other people but maybe there could be a system that works like:

1. User A requests to subscribe to user B's posts by clicking a link in their profile or somewhere else
2. User B is sent a message or otherwise informed that user A would like to subscribe to them and is offered the option of disallowing the subscription or allowing it
3. If B allows it, user A is informed of user B's new posts just like other subscriptions
(Possible) 4. User B gains in "popularity".
