You just tweet: accept [username] (replacing [username] by a twitter username such as oprah)
And then, the person you chose follows you. But now twitter reset everyone's follower counter, and is fixing the thing.
Interesting. I wonder if it works on things like 'unfollow' as well. It's curious how they mixed administrative actions with the service itself. I guess it provided them with some sort of optimization when it comes to the implementation.
