>On the Universal Thread, at first, we implemented a thread watch functionality. The terminology "watch" was also used or has been also used elsewhere on the net for the same functionality. Twitter came in and decided to use the "follow" terminology to represent about the same global concept. We are about to implement a feature like that in an application. I am wondering about the new standard for such feature as far as its terminology recognition. Is "follow" pretty much what we should use now?

You could invent a new one: "Stalk"
