Now that the Feeds tab is on steemit it makes sense to follow other people and easily keep track what they post without having to resort to external tools such as steemstats.com ... not that I'll stop using it since it is really useful for a lot of other things besides keeping track of the people that follow you and that you follow.
yeah, im surprised that the steem team didnt include the ability to see who is following me. good thing steemstats.com exists.
