I come across the same situation often. In networks that support it, I just do the equivalent of "follow" (or "add friend" or "subscribe" or whatever it is called). In networks that don't, I simply create a bookmark in 'Interesting People' folder using the comments/submission urls for that person - eg. http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=grease http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=grease or http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=grease http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=grease
