I don't follow everyone who follows us at Pacific Science Center. I always check who they are and eliminate thusly:
1. If they hide their tweets, don't follow. 2. If they've never tweeted, don't follow. 3. Spammers...block 'em. 4. Read their last 20 or so tweets. If they tweet maybe once a week, probably won't follow. 5. If they tweet mostly about things totally unrelated to our area, or nothing related to education, science, etc, probably won't follow. 6. I use Twhirl so I set up a number of searches and integrate the results into my twitter stream (other clients do this as well). That way I find people I'm not following who are talking about us or some of our interests. I may then follow them. Strongly recommend using a Twitter client (Twhirl, Tweetdeck, Twitterific, etc.) There are MANY.
