    It sounds weird to "watch" a member to become his/her follower. The more appropriate word is "follow". What do you think?

      Personally, I think you have been on FarceBok far too much ... but nobody listens to me anyway ...

        I do not surf on facebook much. Even GitHub uses the follow button.

          I see "watch" buttons in the forums, where it makes perfect sense. (Reminiscent of file system watching.)

          Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

              Only if there is also a "Try" button.

                We use "Watch" in Debug ... so there you go.

                "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
