Checking out your app. very cool idea.

There's a semantic problem though. I DO NOT like how you treat the people I'm following as a list that I need to add people to. It's really confusing. If you're going for the gmail comparison there should be a way to check off people and then click a button that's separate from the list drop down that says "Follow them." As is, I found it really counterintuitive.

Yep good points - in the code I abstracted vanilla followers to just be another list, but I think almost everyone considers their followers to be something really different than a list.

Also, please don't hide the logout button under the @username dropdown. I had to try about 3 guesses before I found it.
