Thanks Zach and Josh. Sure enough, it was a stupid question. :)

Definitely seems like adding more color to the docs would be a good idea.

 Hey Josh,

 Notifications when enable will cause tweets from the followed user to

 Hi all,

 I'm sure this is a stupid question, but my Google kung fu is failing me.

 http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-friendships%C2%A0create
 describes the parameter thus:

 * follow.  Optional. Enable notifications for the target user in
 addition to becoming friends.

 What confuses me is: What are notifications for the target user?

 Thanks,
 Josh

This question gets asked every few weeks. Probably need to update the
documentation.

Right now it means subscribe with SMS to their updates. (In the twitter from
a long long time ago, I believe this also controlled getting IM
notifications).
