Definition
The act of forming a personal connection with someone/something (object) unidirectionally/asymmetrically to get updates polled from. Related actions: BefriendAction: Unlike BefriendAction, FollowAction implies that the connection is not necessarily reciprocal. SubscribeAction: Unlike SubscribeAction, FollowAction implies that the follower acts as an active agent constantly/actively polling for updates. RegisterAction: Unlike RegisterAction, FollowAction implies that the agent is interested in continuing receiving updates from the object. JoinAction: Unlike JoinAction, FollowAction implies that the agent is interested in getting updates from the object. TrackAction: Unlike TrackAction, FollowAction refers to the polling of updates of all aspects of animate objects rather than the location of inanimate objects (e.g. you track a package, but you don't follow it).
