I have had several conversations lately about how to use Twitter and how to decide who to follow. I know everyone has a different methodology and goal when using Twitter. Here is mine.
I have gmail filter, label and auto archive emails from Twitter and I go through them every week or so.
Any of the following disqualifies the account for a follow:
- the default avatar
- 10,000 followers or more
- businesses
- social media experts
- marketing experts
- no bio
- no real name
- private account
Of course as these are my rules I have broken them all at least once I’m sure. 🙂 Other than that I look at the bio, the link if there is one and recent tweets.
I try to keep the number of people I follow around 250 and absolutely wont go over 300. I can’t keep up with more, some people can, I can’t. I spend most of my time on Twitter using Tweetdeck, without the columns I think I’d have to follow less than 250.
