Ellie – I really agree with you on this – I only follow maybe half the people that follow me and I weed fairly regularly. When I choose to follow someone, I not only look at their twitter stream (are the interacting with others, do they have a point of view and a sense of humor, are they real), check out their bio and visit their website, and I look at how much they just talk “at” and how much they talk “with”. That’s how I met you! I can only interact with so many people and I want to be able to actually read the tweets of my follows as I’d hope they’d read mine.

I hope Twitter cracks down on auto-follow software, too. It is annoying to many users and isn’t used for good most of the time.

I think twitter should ban users that use the auto software. What’s the point in following a million people if you only read 3 or 4? I block anyone that follows me and already has 500 people they are following but have only posted 0, 1, 2 or 3 tweets. It’s also annoying when people follow you only because of a single tweet you wrote on a particular topic. Come on folks, get with the program!
