I think a simple list like this works well. I'm trying to include things in the list that won't change, so that a user of t can remember where a specific item of interest is in the list without it moving from one whois request to the next.
I also took into account the ordering of the list. I tried to put important items at the extremes because it's easier to quickly locate the last item, then the 4th item for example.
I'm not sure if "status" is necessary. Is it useful to show if the person is protected? Is "status" the right word for that? being "verified" is a type of status too.
Another thing that I think works, but is a little non-standard is the Following Status. I was thinking it could be one of the following:
• @jack is your leader
• you are @jack's leader
• you and @jack are friends
• you and @jack do not follow each other
We could substitute "@default_username" where I have "you", if we want to be very explicit about which account is currently default, but it's probably not necessary. I especially like @jack is your leader because it injects a little character into the app, and further cements the terminology.
