You may have checked the box which comes up with friend requests, checking tis box means you follow them. I'm sure it was a mistake ^ ^ It's fine to learn about new functions!!!

Oh thanks for the responses! I gotcha. but how come there are lots of people who I am following though. I just realize what "follow" is now, it means I have never modified my "following list" to add someone before. But.. anyways.. thanks all for the comments once again.

lol, it means that the person's activities will show up on your homepage =)

Well, to follow someone on this website means you have access to their new updates such as new notebook entries, questions posted, etc. But on twitter, you have access to their new pictures, videos, & comments. I kinda don't get it, before when you add someone on italki you still "followed" them before too. This website is just trying to be cool.

Oh....O.o No no.. I mean "follow" for the diffent thing, one of italki function. Have you seen those on itakli??? -- Some one's name Visited 4 hour(s) ago You're "following" Male, From Japan, Living in Tokyo -----
