Twitter's 'Trusted Friends' are now your 'Flock' with a 150-person limit

What you need to know

Twitter's Trusted Friends feature is now Flock.
People can put up to 150 people into their flocks.
There is no timescale on when this new feature will be available.

It really should have been a 140-person limit for us old-timers.

Twitter pre-announced a feature called Trusted Friends last year that would allow people to send tweets to a specific group of people. Now that feature has a new name, but we still don't know when we will be able to use it.

Twitter is now calling Trusted Friends something new — Flock, according to code found in the current app by Alessandro Paluzzi and reported by Input. The name change makes sense, with the code spelunking also outing a new 150-person limit on the number of people that can be part of a flock. Why Twitter didn't go with 140 people, I'll never know.
