Things still confusing. As per the article, The New Terminology Things are now decidedly simpler: you follow other users, and other users follow you. You can turn notifications on and off on a per-user basis.
So looks like Friendship.create is to follow someone and Notification.follow is to turn on notifications. My question is what "turn on/off" means. I found the only option on twitter.com is to follow/unfollow a user. Can I follow a user but turn off notifications? or it can only be done in program? What's your suggestion if I want to simply follow a person. Friendship.create and Notification.follow, which one should I use?
