Good info here. I find I get followed by spammers and people that just want to show off scantily clad pictures. I check out everyone that follows me and only follow them back if they're interesting and block them if they're spammers.

I tried an experiment with an odd twitter account and tried to follow everyone I possibly could for a couple days just to see what would happen. I was amazed at the high percentage of people that followed me just because I followed them. It was automatic and robotic and it's obvious that many people think that they should follow someone without even knowing or caring who they are. It's becoming Twitter-polution.

Thanks again. Keep it coming!

Truly hillarious! Twitter always seemed to me to me to be the height of vanity unless someone was following a twitterererer in the hope of actually learning something important. And for those obsessed with following and not twitting, isn't that just voyeurism? Twitee or twitor ... two sides of a vain coin.

I think Dunbars rule is 150 relationships - beyond which point things get pretty unproductive.

It makes each one of the 150 places quite valuable
