See, I totally fail to grok this... I see it the same as "do you mind if I friend you" - You can't stop it, it's fundamental to the medium, and what's the point? I don't see it as polite... I truly feel that supporting the pov that such a thing is something that the person being friended/feeded/read should be emotionally invested is does nothing but add to The (wow. I meant to misspell that...) Drahmah when the Wrong Person reads the Wrong Thing/adds the Wrong Person/creates the Wrong Feed Account.
