You're right about the line. But, as an anecdote, pinterest have a very similar line and I found a bunch of "xxx has begun to following yyy" (or something like that) after the "automagic auto-follow all my friends".
I discovered the "feature" of the posting only because someone answered to my post... Now I'm way less confident on the promises made on login...
- cwilson 15y agoYep, this happened to me as well. There seems to be some confusion, which no one is addressing because they want the virility, around the initial "User signed up for Product! Try it out!", and then future pushes based on user interactions or automagic sharing. You have to remember too, that we are the minority, and most users (especially of services like Pinterest, which people absolutely love) don't really care about this stuff, or think it's normal.
