I asked a question in Google+ that you might also consider:
Several people are mentioning they think reciprocal follows (if you follow me, I should follow you) SHOULDN’T be the norm on Google+ . What do YOU think?

Here’s what people said to the above question inside of Google+ (just a sampling of the almost 100 comments I got in the first few hours of posting it).

Is Social In Google’s DNA?, Tom Anderson Worried About Googles Algorithm-Driven Philosophy

Is Social In Google’s DNA?, Tom Anderson Worried About Googles Algorithm-Driven Philosophy | The Google+ Project | Scoop.it

I love using G+, enough so that I’m worried that Google is going to make a misstep and ruin the service. Specifically I worry that Google will assume an algorithm alone is what’s needed to reduce the “signal to noise” ratio in the G+ feed. Several Google engineers have posted publicly that they’re working on this algorithm.

One of the key issues that will determine the fate & nature of G+ is whether Google favors an algorithmic approach over a user-controlled approach to the stream. Facebook (almost counterintuitively) is the one that favors an algorithmic approach, and currently it’s one of the defining differences between Facebook and G+.

Please give us control Google. If you do, we’ll have no reason to complain about your algorithm.
