Yes, this is going to be our next feature. In fact, this is the exact idea that I prototyped a couple of months ago using Twitter data, but we are completely off from Twitter now [1].

When you implement that, an important thing to keep in mind is that "people" are usually a mix of interests. (E.g. if you followed me, you'd get a large helping of browser tech, photography, 3D printing, human rights work, and fashion).

It might be a better idea to allow people to curate search lists by interests and share those focused lists.

People are more interesting in the sense of "of your six closest friends, 5 vouched for this site" when a site/search result pops up.

That is awesome! I've had the idea for the past few years of making a social search engine, where the only results are pages tagged by people in your "friends" list and several degrees outwards from that.

I never had any interest in actually building the idea, so it's amazing to see something similar hit the market.
