Great advice Christopher. The auto replies are disengenuous and dont feel right. I see a lot of stuff come past and just pick the stuff thats relevant, but dont have a lot of time. At the end of the day I look at my favorites...this means Im probably following many people who are of no relevance and have no common interest.

There is a whole lot of automated/multilevel follower-building going-on. Im interested in in your take on tools like Hummingbird as I came across is yesterday in one of those get to 10,000 followers overnight posts.

Appreciate the insight.
all the best,

Mark

I like to use Tweepler.com to sort through users who have recently started following my updates; offers me a quick view of their last few tweets and lets me decide which to follow and which to ignore.

Thanks Chris, appreciate the helpful tips. With all the options out there I tend to get overwhelmed and wait for someone like yourself to recommend something. I'll try this method out, also trying out the Skitch/Evernote apps you suggested on a podcast recently.

Appreciate it all!

I'm still sorting through the unfollowing that occasionally happens when Twitter decides to die from time to time. I do use Friend or Follow quite a bit...but it's annoyingly time consuming. Especially when you see people that you know were following you...no longer doing so.

One thing to consider: A lack of profile pic isn't necessarily a good candidate for instanuke. I've got several people who I follow who don't have profile pics, because they're sight-impaired. So unless they have someone add a pic for them, they won't have a pic, and legitimately so. Yeah, it may be a small percentage of people without pics, but something to keep in mind in any case.
