Hello Gautam,
Thank you for the comment and pointing out the ignore feature on FB.
In my next post, we will discuss Twitter, and this point you mentioned is very relevant there. For now, I just like to point out that bidirectional network and unidirectional networks are not mutually exclusive. As you said, you can have following, which is a unidirectional connection on FB. Likewise, on Unidirectionally-connected networks, such as Twitter, you can also have reciprocal connection too. It has to do with the ability and the consent mechanism for people to connect. That is, whether you ask for people’s permission to connect or not.
Thanks again for the comment. Stay tuned for the next post on Twitter! See you next time.
