    Notes

• Call your app something other than "Twitter"
• When logged in, the root URL should show the messages from all the people you follow.
• People can post "messages," "cheeps," or whatever you want to call them. They're tweets, but please don't call them that.
• Getting the list of messages for You + people you follow is tricky'ish. Think of it like this:

class Post
  def self.timeline(user)
    follower_ids = user.followers.map(&:id)
    all_ids= follower_ids << user.id
    Post.where(user_id: all_ids).order("created_at DESC")
  end
end

...or perhaps a User automatically follows themeselves when creating their account?
