Ans.A followee is someone you are following. While followers are all those who like your kwips and are following you.

Ans.A friend is just that, what in the real world you would call a friend. We recommend that you only add as friend people that you know (and they know you :). We are going to introduce more features in the future which will play on the trust that friendship entails.

Ans.There are two ways - first, you can search. We have made people as the focus of the search. So if you search for anything, you would also get the person involved. This works well if you know a bit about that person (which might be there in the profile or one of their kwips/comments). If you have been a twitter user and have lots of friends on twitter, you can use "find twitter followers". There are more ways to find friends in the pipeline, just wait a lil bit :).

Ans. when you comment, there is a "notify on follow-up comments". if you click on the checkbox, you'll be notified by email on subsequent comments. you can unsubscribe by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link if you don't want the mails.

Ans. yes you can specify what notifications you want and by email or instant message. go to your dashboard>account and check the boxes which you notifications for.

Ans. if you haven't seen one of your followers kwips in a while, the buzz link appears on follower's kwip page. you could buzz and write a line or two saying how much you miss their kwips.
