"I value reciprocity -- on Twitter and elsewhere -- when and if I have a legitimate reason to expect it. In the case of your Uservoice example, reciprocity (in terms of "I'm following @uservoicetk so he had better be following me in return") is unnecessary and expecting it is perhaps a bit foolish. Responsiveness and accessibility, however, are in high demand. But if the context is, say, a matter of Facebook friendship with my mom, expectations for reciprocity are a bit higher. She'd be pissed if I blocked her. :)" - Mike Keliher
