Karen, Twitter is weird sometimes with the following; I’ve seen that issue before. Something to do with how Twitter is constructed.

Here is what I do:

1. Visit person’s twitter home page (http://www.twitter.com/UserName and caps matter)
2. Click the button under their pic and choose to unfollow them.
3. Let the magic fady effects resolve.
4. Click the button under their pic to follow them again.
5. Let the magic fady effects resolve.

Following people from anywhere other their Twitter home has not been reliable for me. On their own home page, ’tis fine.

John, for some reason your tweets refuse to show up on my timeline now that I’m “following” you. Annoying, that.

I tend to say something on it about once a week. Just too many social network options these days!

I am not a server. I don’t need a logging mechanism.

Ooh, goody — even *more* ways to stay glued to my Twitter feed.

If you’re not already, you might try using the Twhirl client — makes the whole Twitter experience better/easier.

@Jon H 7:

Twitter serves RSS feeds for each individual user on demand (I actually use this in one case because to follow would be… awkward).

Twitter is a great platform for pared-down status updates.

The sidebar and other neat things come with Twitter Tools.

I haven’t really investigated Twitter for myself as I don’t text message very much, but I know that on other blogs, Wil Wheaton’s for example, there is a sidebar with that individual’s Twitter entries/broadcasts. Is there a Twitter sidebar application for your Whatever?

On Twitter "friends" are called "followers," which frankly i find kind of creepy. Granted, not quite creepy to prevent me having my own Twitter, but still, a little creepy.

Jon H. – If I’m on the web, I tend not to use Twitter. I used Twitter and Utterz while running around with the cell. (Although my boyfriend called a moratorium on voice Utterz after I narrated a particularly harrowing drive through a blizzard. He said the narration was making him nervous.)

“Friends lists”? Please. That’s so 1999 LJ. It’s “bunch of Twits”.
