It seems there is no right or wrong answer. Fully agree on followers as it isn't a phrase I'm fond of either, couldn't say I was any ones disciple and I'm not fool enough to think any of the stunning ladies who have kindly pressed my button (& that unintentionally sounds a little weird, although it has it's appeal :D) are following me. Subscriber is way too formal, I subscribe to the inanimate SG site not people although I can subscribe to their ideas. Follower does suggest a kind of stalker creepiness "I'm following your every move" where as friend to me is more relaxed, popping in & out when we have the time to make contact & participate in semantics. I think pressing the follow button is extending a hand of friendship within the virtual world we are moving in & it is also OK to qualify type of friend as there has to be degrees of friendship in life (acquaintance, buddy, best mate, lover, life partner). So it's friends for me as it was on the old SG format. Perhaps we should participate in semantics to apply a descriptive adjective to the word friend or just make one up, my e-friend, BB blog-buddies, V-Friend buddy in a virtual sense, button friend perhaps is my choice in the hope she'll press it again and become a button lover & me hers:D
