I am an ‘elitist’. I will follow people if I feel they add value to my stream, but I don’t worry about how many people are following me. I do go in and check for porn or spambots, but otherwise I don’t block people who are following me, but I’m not likely to follow everyone back – especially if they are a MySpacer.

I seem to be following Juscelino’s curve! I’m probably more Friend than anything else, and I’m continually watching the RTs to see what others that I’m not following are saying. [Some of which I wind up following, and they follow me sometimes too.] I can’t say I’ve been all too strategic with this approach, as I felt Twitter was much more organic in nature. Not sure I’ll go all Elitist on people; I seem to be managing the conversations pretty well so far. That said, I tend to follow the folks that follow me, but I will drop ‘em like a rock if they get annoying.

My strategy has changed over the 2 years I’ve been on it. First it was to follow who follows me. Then I realized some of the people following me I wasn’t too interested in hearing from (non-spammers). Now I pretty much only follow people I know or am interested to hear what they may say — so it’s more about the potential of a connection. I’ve decided if someone follows me, I feel no obligation to follow them back unless they look interesting to me.

I went from The NonStrategist to The MySpacer to The Friend to The Elitist. I thought that I wanted a bunch of followers until I realized that I did not care anything about what the majority where tweeting. Eventually, I had to settle for Elitist because I realized that I like interacting with the people I am following.

Sad to say, I started twitter life (I dunno, twife?) a MySpacer, going for sheer volume. I’ve since pared down the people I follow and focused my efforts a LOT more. Now I find myself somewhere between your Friend strategy and what I like to think of as Industry Insider. I’ve tracked down those in the advertising and design industries and I’m building relationships. To date, this strategy has been a trying and slow build but I am proud to say that a personal hero, Alex Bogusky, is following me… and 3,860 other people
