Q: 

I can get follower_count, but what about FOLLOWING count for twitter users?

I can't find any explanation for this ANYWHERE. Part of the value of a twitter account is a low following:follower ratio (at least it's correlated with high-profile twitter accounts). But I can't seem to obtain the following count through the API.

Does anyone know why? Or if I'm missing something, where can I find info about this?

Thanks.

A: 

"Friends" = "People I'm following". Gah.
