Really? I hope that's not true. Friend != follow. :-(

It's a really common use case actually. Let's say you're a friend IRL, but on Twitter you just talk about sports. I still want you to be able to Direct Message me, but I don't care about sports (I'm myopic and only care about tech ;-)) Proxlet helps you achieve this type of relationship.
