From Twitter itself:

we are no longer going to define people as your "friends."

Quite right too. It's going to use 'followers'. I guess that's right. If people admit to being interested in what you're up to then they're followers.

Maybe this is the start of a trend. The end of false friends. Are you listening FaceBook et al?
