A little H.G. Wells reference there, not winged cats. I have four followers. OK. Stop laughing. So I’m not very popular. Anyway, I have four followers, but when I click on it, I just see two names. Why can’t I see the other two? ---

I had four followers on FB too, and finally found out who they were. It turns out they were four people who had friend-requested me and I had ignored the requests rather than accepting or declining. As a result, they were following my public status updates. Go to your profile page. Look in the “about” box directly under your picture. The last line on mine is “followed by 3 people” click on that and it will show you who is following you. Nevermind, I see you already know how to find out who is following you. ---

Winged cats might be quite fun, but I hope your griffins are not [Nick Griffin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin). 'cos that might be scary. ---

Ha! I think I’ve figured it out. Some are following me on “Schoolfeed.” Those do not show up on the “regulare” facebook followers list. ---

If you are a giant yellow chicken, I would be vary wary of Peter Griffin following you. 😃
