"If you don't know Joe Schmoe, Joe Schmoe probably likes your blog
and wants to bookmark your site. Don't worry about reciprocating
unless you like their site too."
Posterous, thank you for explaining this to me. This should be done
more often or all the time when joining a new service. It's always
difficult to decipher how a new or old social network should be
worked.
For example, when going to college, Facebook invites should be
reciprocated without thinking. A Facebook friend meant another "real"
friend.
On LinkedIn, a request to connect should only be accepted if you've
worked with the person, work with them or will be working with them.
As far as Twitter goes, this is still a mystery to most.
At least I know one thing. On Posterous, someone who adds my blog to
their subscriptions does not necessarily need to be followed back in
order to be proper. So for that, thank you.
