What is the plural and singular form of people you follow on social media?
I'm developing a social network which has a feature similar to twitter's follow/following setup. At the moment I have the following (hehe) terminology on the site:
follower - someone who follows you
followers - group of people who follow you
I'm also using following at the moment to describe a group of people you are following. However, this also has the meaning of a group people who follow you.
So what is the correct terminology for:
- a group of people you follow on social media?
- a person you follow?
- and how can you refer to the photos uploaded by the group of people you follow?
The only thing I can find so far is 'who you follow' which is a bit wordy.
