I found this fascinating article today from Kiplinger:
When you sign up for Twitter, no one is initially “following” you — that is, you can send out a message but no one will read it because no one is subscribing to your ‘tweet stream.” Chances are you have friends using Twitter and you can easily locate them with Twitter’s search capability. If you follow them, likely they will follow you back. That enables you to see any tweets they post to their account, and they can see any tweets you post to your Twitter acccount.
