The reason I would like the statistics about followers and who you're following to be links to that information is because if you want to look for one of your friends, currently you have to trawl through the timeline until you find a post they've made. If the following statistic linked to a list of who you're following it would be much easier.

I do agree with being able to tap someone's name and being taken to their profile, and being able to change your avatar.
