There is no follow button for facebook but for twitter, however you can use the following plugin (Like Box) to :

* See how many users already like this Page, and which of their friends like it too
* Read recent posts from the Page
* Like the Page with one click, without needing to visit the Page

For the like button use this:

To display a users status you would need to do some programming, or hire a programmer. Here's a good starting point:
