If its knowledge we are after then following but if we wish to share easier and better ways to do things then followers...finding a balance seems to be difficult though I guess its like everything else. Every once in a while we have to clean house based on need and use... I guess it depends on what your desires are?

I have regretted a few snappy comments. As a Brit I can do irony and some people outside the UK struggle with it. The personal messages for me bring in my humanity and make me likable. It is what I appreciate in others there are couple of people that I adore for their wit and presence. It is amazing how much can be conveyed in 140 characters. May be it is just my interpretation and imagination filling the gaps. I tweet some of the things that my 6 year old tells me, they are priceless bits of wisdom. There are some very tight twitters that just do facts. They are interesting but lack soul. To answer the main question I follow people in batches of 10 a few here and there. I sometime pick a profile and look down the stream and follow from there. That is enough all the best Paul Harvey (twitter Market_that) I started to follow lots of people and then I decided to follow a particular group that fits with my business interests ( marketing and Business Development)

It’s great if you’re famous but those with large followers don’t tend to take the time to follow those who follow them.

I know I have a unbalance of followers to whom I am following, but comes from two things. 1. People who are daily starting to follow me, some I can not figure out as to way, they are about things like IT stuff or dog breading, stuff I'm not into or wish to follow. 2. I there is a limit as to how many people I can actual read and communicate with, and that I wish to save for the people I really have an interest in to do so with. Sure there are others I'm very sure would be cool to hook up with, but when you turn on your client and it has 150 current tweets and is adding more faster than you can read, you just have to say, I have a limit. And if 2000 people want to follow me, that is way cool, but there is just no way I can follow that many of them. @dennismuse Although it is real cool to have a large number of followers I really only benefits from those I follow and communicate with.

(^.^). I don't expect people will reply to my tweet but when they do, I appreciate it so much. and that's what I do when I see my tweet-fellows ask or tell about what they're doing...I respond them sometimes. I just think, It's great to tweet tweet by myself but if Itweet tweet and someone respond it, I feel like heyyy i'm exist (^o^).
