to the first replier, is following someone considered an update?

[Richard E]

"If you've hit a limit, it means you've exceeded one of these limits:

1,000 updates per day

250 direct messages per day

150 API requests per hour

Follow limit

We do not limit the number of people who can follow you, but we have put limits in place to stop people from aggressively following others. Everyone is allowed to follow 2000 people. After that, follow limits are based on the number of people who are following you. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter, and everyone is subject to follow limits, even high profile and API accounts"
