The theme is: You scratch my back and I will scratch yours. <br /><br />Also, there are possibilities that when one is new to blogging, one goes on a blog-spotting spree and start following everything in sight. Life's hardship and busy-ness soon take over the intial I-also-want-to-blog euphoria. <br /><br />I once wrote a Facebook update which went like: If S.C Bose were alive today, he would have remarked - Tum mujhe 'Likes' doh, mein tumhein 'Comments' doonga! ( You give me 'Likes', I will return the favour through my 'Comments').Suraj Gunwanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533861586785725440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-22662046524191094982011-02-20T13:32:50.979+05:302011-02-20T13:32:50.979+05:30Angie:

I used to follow everyone too, but then I heard that it isn't a great idea if wishing to maintain one's privacy. <br />Personally, I believe that the follow button is used more as an acknowledgement of a blogger's popularity. Feedback, if you will, that a blogger is desirable. <br />I don't have a follow button. I prefer to read the blogs I like and leave comments.Angie Muresanhttp://www.angiemuresan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-51354393646641014142011-02-19T22:24:45.601+05:302011-02-19T22:24:45.601+05:30Myriam:

After reading about three posts and wishing I had more time I decided to follow immediately. <br /><br />A few hours fastforward and I am back because I want to read what you have to say and I like the way you write. <br /><br />Do I follow easily, yep. As soon as the content is interesting I start feeling like a sponge who wants to know/learn/see more. My bloglist is long but I read all the posts on my feed and comment on most of them. <br /><br />Have a lovely evening while I read.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470810820417327936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-25435156963086488082011-02-15T19:26:10.891+05:302011-02-15T19:26:10.891+05:30Betty:

I have been following people on this basis. If I really like a particular post, I follow the author, hoping that the subsequent posts too are good enough. <br /><br />But I've decided to keep the blogs I follow to a manageable number. Else, I might end up spending a better part of my days simply reading and commenting on blogs and not be able to do any of my own work.Vinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001179092240729416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-50413141857877684202011-02-14T16:00:52.913+05:302011-02-14T16:00:52.913+05:30Rachel:
