"Designing" is a big word :-) I just wrote some CSS to make it look nice
but it is by no means how it should look like... same for breaking width
etc. I really would like to have someone look at it...

These links are actually taken from existing work - I just moved them
around to make activity list more prominent. "Find friends" currently
links to nearby users. Perhaps it should be changed to "nearby users"?
Or maybe nearby users should actually be displayed as they are right now
on the site. On the right side below the map? I really can't design
UIs...
