Everywhere else (as far I have seen it till now) people shouting out the "rule": "Follow everybody who follows you." <br />No. Follow ONLY those who are interesting for you. It is part of the game that some are more intersting (have more followers) and some are less (have only a few followers). <br />What for a nonsense if Barack Obama would "follow" his 340.000 followers!<br />The rule is:<br />Do not follow more people as you can digest. Nobody can digest the output of 30.000 people.<br />Or am I wrong?Jochen Uebelwww.smi.chnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333917.post-89072650579920557112008-12-18T14:12:11.000+01:002008-12-18T14:12:11.000+01:00Well, twitter is somewhere between RSS and 'fi...Well, twitter is somewhere between RSS and 'fiending' on a SN.<br /><br />a) It is like RSS because people 'follow' you.<br /><br />b) It is like a SN, because you can both see who is following whom and who is following back.<br /><br />In the very beginning I was following way too many people (this was in 2006/2007) just because I was so fascinated by how many interesting people there were. I did NT do it to provoke followers.<br /><br />Nowadays some people say: "I follow peple who interest me and if they do not follow back, in unfiollow." This is very much close to spamming, I think.<br /><br />I also have begun to unfollow<br />- people I do not know and who post boring stuff and who do not follow me (mostly there are peple I followed on a whim just becauuse someone I know was @talking to them).<br />My timeline is far too crowded with stuff that is not interesting to me.<br /><br />I still follow people that interest me even if they are not following back. If they are ppl I now I must admit I try to regain their attention by un-following and following again. As those are usually ppl I knw I hpe they do not consider this spam ;) (I might have to think about this behavior).<br /><br />I still usually follow back when somebody fllows me and does not only post boring stuff (making coffee, riding bus, god night).<br /><br />But I 'weed' my non followers.<br /><br />next step is: Check who is folloowing me and who I need too follow ;) Mr. Tweet(er?) hopefully will help there ;)olivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333917.post-44492771132193285692008-12-18T13:50:04.000+01:002008-12-18T13:50:04.000+01:00I often wonder why people with a totally different...I often wonder why people with a totally different backgrund and interests start to follow me. <br /><br />What other conclusion can I come to than to think that they are collecting followers for the shere number and not for who they are. <br /><br />That's probably a consequence from the same "strategy" on other social networks.<br /><br />I wish twitter had an option to ask for following (plus dm) without having to protect your updates.Annette Schwindthttp://blog.schwindt-pr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333917.post-78521926594871766082008-10-27T17:04:19.000+01:002008-10-27T17:04:19.000+01:00BTW you might wanna user [url=http://ewanleith.com...BTW you might wanna user [url=http://ewanleith.com/idlefriends/]http://ewanleith.com/idlefriends/[/url] to figure oput who has left twuitter again or who is inactive and needs no following ...oliverghttp://blog.oliver-gassner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333917.post-55350115672343061932008-10-27T16:17:57.000+01:002008-10-27T16:17:57.000+01:00That´s cool Oliver.

Especially the bit about wanting to know who doesn't follow you in return - that would be a useful feature indeed.<br /><br />Looks like your followers have been compiled on Twitterless so you can view them in a variety of different ways, however until you lose or gain some followers the stats page won't have anything to show you.Mark Nutterhttp://nuttersmark.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333917.post-60835536293472234322008-09-18T22:52:41.000+02:002008-09-18T22:52:41.000+02:00If it is days it does not cover the case that ther...If it is days it does not cover the case that there is an event and I follow all ppl who twitter from there cause I am also there.

Another tricky problem is that most of these Twitter spammers will follow and unfollow you within a matter of seconds cuz they know it sends you an email. Twitter should only send you an email notifying you of a new follower if they've stuck with you for a couple days.

Twitterles has settings in place that allow you to automatically block users with a specified follower/friend ratio and also auto follow using similar parameters.
