I’m fairly new to Twitter and although it takes time to select who I follow back, I am in this for the long haul. I care more about quality than quantity.

I automatically follow whoever follows me, but then I’m pretty new to Twitter. At some point, I imagine I will pare the list of those who are not so attuned to where I want to go with information and such… Mostly the marketers. But for now, it’s just interesting to see what the world has to say, without limiting that world to my own preferences or expectations.

Thinking of setting up a Twitter account for my site on Apple & in particular the MacBook Air since it's a popular machine. Not sure whether it's worth the time investment for a site like mine as there is no point in twittering without a lot of followers! On my personal twitter accoutn I follow 20 industry orientated people. Personally, i prefer facebook status updates!

what, no Lebowski freaks here? OK *cough* ‘i still jerk off manually’. but seriously, i’m following a bit over half those who follow me. as many have already said, i check profiles, bios, sites and their front-page twits. if i dig what i read, then i follow back.

I follow people who I think might actually care about the things I say. If I go to a page and it is immediately obvious that they’re just hawking something, I’m out.

I check out their *favorites*; if the stuff they are saving looks interesting, I’ll follow. Can I learn from them? Do we have things in common? Do I like what I see in their favorites?

Since I’m an artist, I prefer to follow other artists and crafters. I also tend to follow the tweets of bloggers that I’m already familiar with or twitters recommended by someone I know.

I’m one of the few yes’s. I autofollow for a couple of reasons:

1) I’ve met some great people that I probably wouldn’t have followed if I had just looked at their profiles. When you follow people they tend to reach out, and I’ve made some good connections.

2) The spam filtering on twitter has gotten quite good, especially since it’s user monitored.

3. I primarily use tweedeck to monitor tweets, so it’s easy to filter out people that I don’t really read.

Absolutely not! If they are simply rss blog posters, and never conversing or replying to anyone, there is no point. There are times when I am on the fence, in which case I usually give them the benefit of the doubt, at least for a trial run!
