Following timeline is defective - does not show people I am following

The following timeline (which is already an imposed bummer to me) does not show the people I follow currently.

I just noticed that someone I am duly following is not showing up in the following tab.

I would have completely missed his post had he not answered to one of my videos and I noticed the video in my inbox (which by the way did not signal either that I had a message, but this, I was not expecting because of the log-off dysfunction) and had I not had the brilliant seesmic sidebar that Steve Purkiss developed for Seesmic (http://seesmicsidebar.com/).

Made another great point for advocating for the return of the public timeline as the default timeline, and a user option to be able able which of the two timelines should be the default one (I bet the majority would take the public timeline, since the rationale behind the reason why it had been implemented is not valid anymore, and the comments on blogposts don't show in the public timeline anymore). http://getsatisfaction.com/seesmic/to...
