Heh. Since I'm currently on Twitter a lot, it reminds me a lot of the
way I think of Twitter followers.
Some of them are vIlle'pu'. People you know and like and follow you
because they like you.
And some are vIlpu'. They just show up in your followers list and you
have no idea what the heck prompted them to follow you.
