Wasn't aware of Your Twitter Karma but have now tried it out and is a really useful tool. I agree that if you follow too many people just in order to attract more followers yourself that this can backfire on you and make your stream very muddy. Nice tips Mark!

After all the point of Twitter is to be 'social' and engage once past a certain point it can become a chore rather than a pleasure. However, tools like TweetDeck and now Twitter Lists are specifically designed to help manage a larger number of people. Again Twitter is social and why block yourself from anyone who can enrich your social/business experience and exposure - unless they are spammers of course! Happy purging - if you fancy it! :) Not a new concept and something many have done and talked about but a useful one IF you find your Twitterstream becoming overwhelming.

And I agree, if the good and useful posts get buried in the spam, twitter is no fun anymore. I find that all those who post half a dozen, obviously automated tweets in a row need to be unfollowed along with all those who do not interact with hardly anyone. I love to see twitterers who really interact with others. I have been using twitter karma as well, it works great.

Unlike those seesmic/tweetdeck groups which require you follow someone to group them, lists don't require following. As such, I currently follow about 35 by stream and 500+ by list.

I usually block anyone (or any autobot) that looks like a spammer. Do you simply ignore new followers you choose not to follow back or do you also block them as part of your purge process? If you do a bit of both, do you use any special app to help you make your decision or just take them one case at time?
