Re: [twitter-dev] friendships/destroy friendships/create error messages

Hi Paul,

We changed some of the underlying services that process followings semi-recently to remove the friendship check before saving -- the check itself could prevent the follow or unfollow event from actually occurring, resulting in the user's original intention never being serviced. If you unfollow a user that's already unfollowed, the result will be the same: still not following. Likewise, if you follow someone you're already following the result will still be that you're following the user. Issue a follow and then an unfollow and the unfollow will win. Logic all works the same, but we won't prevent you from taking the action if the relationship exists/doesn't exist like we had in the past.

Could be that it's just me, but when I call the friendships/destroy
method on a screen name of someone not being followed, I no longer see
the "You are not friends with the specified user" message. Instead I'm
seeing a "Successfully unfollowed <screen name>.".

As well, when I call the friendships/create method on the screen name
of someone already being followed, I'm no longer see the "Could not
follow user: <screen name> is already on your list." message. Here
also, I'm seeing a "Successfully following <screen name> now.".

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!
