When you view a forum thread, there is a Follow/Unfollow button at the top of the thread. Same for conversations on someone's "wall."

When you edit a wiki page, that automatically sets it so you're following it; I don't know of any way other than that to follow a page -- which I agree, seems kind of dumb.

Don't know if it's possible to follow a person; never tried.

When you are at your own account settings, there's a "Following" tab you can use to see what you are following, and to un-follow it if you wish to.
