You're a cranky one, aren't you? - Elliott Ng
Good essay. - Phil Glockner
Pretty much my exact reaction to the O'Neill post. If I like your info, I follow you. You like mine, you follow me. If not, I won't, and don't. It's nothing personal, something the ubiquitous "friend" term blurs (side story - one of the main reasons I quit using livejournal is that the culture is much more based around friending people based on personal feelings rather than interest in their content and I got uncomfortable with that). - Jandy Stone
Elliott, you are just figuring that out?? :O - Cyndy
@Thanks Robert .... @Mark it's okay I like you to LOL :) - Steven Hodson
@Elliot who let my secret out? :) .. @J. Phil - thanks - Steven Hodson
AMEN! - Justin Korn
What? Steven Hodson is cranky? Next you'll tell me that Larry Ellison likes to buy stuff. - Ontario Emperor
No matter how cranky I may get (and I am planning a similar post later), I will never be at Hodson's level :) - Rob Diana
Blindly reciprocating "friend" requests is lunacy. I can't believe people feel it's rude not to. This isn't a numbers game, I potentially have to pay attention to the content each person I subscribe to generates. If their content is crap, I have already wasted my time and probably missed stuff I actually would have liked. - ♫ Rahsheen™
@OE - too bad I don't have his bank account though then I could be a cranky old fart with LOTS of toys :) - Steven Hodson
@Rob LOL thanks (I think :) ) - Steven Hodson
Steven? My e-feelings are hurt because you didn't add me as a friend on Facebook. I think I might unsubscribe from you on FriendFeed for a day and re-sub tomorrow just to get your attention. ha! - Mona N.
@Mona .. I would have definitely reciprocated except for one problem I *will not* use Facebook - Steven Hodson
Loved this post Steven. Are there really people who believe friending is a default behavior and automatically reciprocated without any demonstration of value? They don't understand the space at all... - Daryl Tay
