bob.follow_thing(x)
bob.unfollow_thing(x)
things = bob.get_followed_things()
x_followers = x.get_followers()

/follow/<model_name>/<item_id>/
{% url follow_object "somemodel" item_id %} #model name lower case

/unfollow/<model_name>/<item_id>/
{% url unfollow_object "somemodel" item_id %} #lower case model name

/toggle-follow/<model_name>/<item_id>/
