It's an interesting idea, but linking it to notifications seems like it could get very annoying very quickly, especially if you follow a lot of people. Imagine if Twitter emailed you every time someone you followed tweeted! Why not just a page which shows posts from folks you're following? Seems like a much more elegant and intuitive way to handle it. You could keep the notifications for those who really want them.

No, this is for the vB4 series. It was never made as a vB3 mod.
