+Twitter Friends Syncing
+-----------------------
+
+As of Laconica 0.6.3, users may set a flag in their settings ("Subscribe
+to my Twitter friends here" under the Twitter tab) to have Laconica
+attempt to locate and subscribe to "friends" (people they "follow") on
+Twitter who also have accounts on your Laconica system, and who have
+previously set up a link for automatically posting notices to Twitter.
+
+Optionally, there is a script (./scripts/synctwitterfriends.php), meant
+to be run periodically from a job scheduler (e.g.: cron under Unix), to
+look for new additions to users' friends lists. Note that the friends
+syncing only subscribes users to each other, it does not unsubscribe
+users when they stop following each other on Twitter.
+
+Sample cron job:
+
+# Update Twitter friends subscriptions every half hour
