Quick question and probably an easy one for hardcore twitter users (which I’m not).
Ex. https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml?screen_name=barackobama

What do 

<friends_count>

<listed_count>

<retweet_count> 

<favorited_count>

stand for?

  • Friends_Count, all his/her friends? I’m not sure because I don’t know if it’s possible to add friends on twitter. I thought I’d only could add people to follow.

  • Listed_count : is this the amount of times he/she IS listed, or he / she HAS listed someone

  • retweet_count: is this the amount of how many times he/she IS retweeted of HAS retweeted?

  • favorited_count: is this the amountof how many times he/she IS favorited or HAS favorited

Thanks in advance

    <friends_count>

    The number of people someone is following. Dubbed “your friends”

    <listed_count>

    The number of public lists on which the user appears.

    <retweet_count>

    Applies to the current user’s status, and this is the number of times it’s been RT’d

    <favorited_count>

    As above, this is the number of times that status has been favourited.
