Would someone please explain the purpose/function of the 'follow' feature?
I have two 'followers' -- One (with whom I've never communicated) began 'following' me several days subsequent to my registration (and hasn't logged on since!?)
Then too I began following 'my other follower' (at her request) -- though said action was/is not productive of any 'special' alerts, etc...
So... Am I to assume that the 'follow' feature is offered as a means to express appreciation of members (à la 'like' Re: posts) --- Most importantly are there any privacy implications attendant thereto?
Best regards and many advance thanks!
