What's the purpose of "follow"?

[kshegunov]

Hello,
As the title suggest, what's the benefit of following someone? Do you get a notification when he/she writes a post? I can't seem to grasp what'd be the purpose to follow someone ... could someone explain that feature a bit?

Kind regards.

@kshegunov I misuse the follow thing as a kind of bookmark for people.

I see, but why would you want to bookmark people? :)

@kshegunov Because some deserve it :-D
