Facebook creates new 'follow' action to allow users to get updates about other users' app activity directly in News Feed

Facebook now offers developers an easy way to allow users to follow other users’ activity within Open Graph applications, even if those users are not friends.

With the new built-in “follow” action, users will be able to get updates about other users’ app activity within the Facebook News Feed, rather than needing to visit the app to find out about it. For example, a person might follow a journalist within a social news app to see what they are reading or follow a celebrity chef within a food review app.
