Title:
Notifications for new popular-with-circle accounts

Area:
circles, discovery

Summary:
When there are changes to the lineup in http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/popsubscriptions , there should be a subscription to be notified of what accounts were added.

Description:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/popsubscriptions lists accounts that a lot of people in your circle subscribe to.

I'm not entirely sure how it is currently calculated, whether it is generated on demand as the page is loaded, or if it is regularly recalculated.

It would be pretty spiffy if something on the back end could check it on, say, a weekly basis, to see if there are any accounts newly appearing.

If a user is subscribed to notifications, the results of this would be sent to them in the usual ways (inbox, email).

The system should be smart enough to not highlight an account that has appeared on the list because the user just unsubscribed from them, and similarly not highlight any banned account.
