Facebook Home – What Can Go Wrong

Same as Facebook--maintain the relationship but reduce the noise. You can only DM with followers for example.

Technically, you can only DM people who follow you. Whether you follow them is irrelevant.

Twitter is a pub sub model, it doesn't really make sense to want to sub but not sub. Twitter follows aren't like friendships at all, they're a "I want to see your content" marker.

Yes but the fact that they are publicly visible makes them serve a secondary purpose.
