a fan follows you - one way. A friend is mutual - you follow each other.

Hi murcha, nice to see you here

Welcome to plurk! Fans are followers, friends you follow too.

i just have friends cuz i like the 2 way st. and it needs to be both ways

Great to see you here. Is it THAT Twitter conversation that did it???

you can't see a fan's plurks but they can see yours
