Twinkle Following Issue
There are several moments where I've wanted to follow someone on Twitter via Twinkle and it doesn't register. I press the follow button within Twinkle and it says I'm following a certain person but when I go to Twitter it says that I'm not following that particular user.

Inappropriate?If that person is using Twitter too, the follow should carry over to Twitter. But not all Twinkle users are using Twitter.

The follow feature isn't working. I even tried following twinkleking and it didn't work. I had to log in to the twitter web interface to add the follow. -
Same for me, too. I have to log in to twitter, find that person, and press follow. Just following them in twinkle doesn't work -
Same problem. I find people on my local page, and I hit follow. They then show-up in my main timeline, but if I look at them there, I'm not following them in Twitter. If I follow them again from my main timeline, it activates the Twitter follow. Just following from Local doesn't do it. -
Inappropriate?same problem; i follow in local, and it shows up in the main timeline, but not in twirl or twitter.com. oddly, i can't even find the person via twitter search to follow there! it's like they're a "twinkle only" user and not really on twitter or something.... i tried unfollowing and re-following in the main timeline in twinkle, but no dice. :(
I’m frustrated

More than half of the Twinkle community is Twinkle-only -- they don't have Twitter accounts -- so the following won't carry over to Twitter. If you follow a Twitter user from within Twinkle it should carry over to Twitter immediately. -
Inappropriate?I thought I had this problem too but I was mistaken. I originally thought that Twinkle was just another Twitter client but it's more than that. I wondered by people I was following via Twinkle were not showing up in Twitter. It's like Chris Clark said, Twinkle is it's own service in addition to Twitter. A fellow Twinkle user once asked me what Twitter was and I mistakenly replied that "it's what we're using to communicate" only to find out that Twinkle was what were using to communicate. I almost dumped Twinkle for Twitterrific but I'm sticking with it and giving it a chance.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?Twinkle 1.1 issue. If you have this problem again, please let us know.

Hi Ed.
So is it true that not all Twinkle users are Twitter.com users? Therefore, if I can follow a non-Twitter.com user on Twinkle, I won't find them on my Twitter.com followers list?
But... if I follow a person on Twinkle and they are also a Twitter.com user, I should see that person listed on Twitter.com?
