The trick is to find people who post *interesting* links or who are doing *interesting* stuff and have *interesting* things to say about what they're doing and thinking. It takes a little perseverance, but it's easy enough to sign on to follow somebody for a bit and then drop them if they don't have anything to say that you want to read. Eventually, by trial and error, you end up with a "stable" of people worth following. I don't tweet myself, but I have a Twitter account, and I'm developing a list of people whose tweets I find of interest.
