Howdy, I have impression that we may look differently on Follow vs. Subscribe as well as not give enough attention to scenarios where single account publishes multiple channels. I created additional user story to capture it: * https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API/More_user_stories#Subscribing_to_specific_channels_when_following_an_account In current silo based social web, people use twitter, foursquare, vimeo, flickr, soundcloud, lanyrd etc. and manage different channels this way. Once we enable option to maintain more unified identities. IMO we can't leave people with a single 'firehose' channel to follow/unfollow. Relevant 'prophetic' story * https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API/User_stories#Following_a_person "Beth posts frequently. Delano is having a hard time reading his inbox stream because Beth's activities drown out everyone else's. He stops following Beth." AFAIK Aaron already faces limitation of having single channel for his website, which doesn't accommodate very well frequent updates he posts to http://aaronparecki.com/metrics Cheers!
