"Subscribe"
A great idea for the scratch website could be "subscribing" kinda like youtube. So that when a user you subscribe to makes a new project you can get a message or it can show up on the front page, similar to the "Friends latest projects" thing. Tell me what you think of the idea!

You can friend someone and their project will appear on the front page. Try it!

I think this might already be implemented. Above everyone's projects there is a subscribe link that looks like this: "http://scratch.mit.edu/img/feed-icon.gif Subscribe" I believe it sends you e-mails, but maybe someone else knows exactly what it sends you.
That would be an RSS feed. You add it to your list of RSS feeds in your browser and, depending on how it works in your browser, you are able to retrieve the latest info from each RSS feed (which, in this case, would be notifications about new projects the user has uploaded).
It's pretty awesome. I use the Flock browser, and my RSS feeds turn from blue to orange whenever someone has uploaded a project 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
