::shrug:: if you don't twitter I don't suppose you're going to care much anyweay. Basically, if you're friended to someone you see everything they say. Twitter have changed this so you only see original posts and the posts to people you already kow. Since the joy of twitter is that it's a great spider-web of contact - I follow Stephen Fry so I previously saw everyone he tweeted to'; I can check out their profile and tweets and if I like them, I friend them too. I've friended a lot of people that way, so has everyone lese - now that option is removed, I only see him tweeting to people I already know. What's the point of that?

No one likes it. Everyone's hoping they'll get the message and change it all back asap, if not, I suspect everyone will stop using Twitter and move on.
