I don’t auto-follow everyone who follows me. I follow those who say interesting things. And look at they reply to, to see who else I might follow.

You ask, “What am I missing?”. I would say “selective access” to your Tweet Channel. Far too many people are indiscriminate in their use of Twitter and others social platforms. Just set it up and the masses rush in. In my opinion the vast majority of “Tweets” are mindless drivel. That said some of it is useful and fun.

I posted on this flood of Twitter mediocrity recently. http://mewcomm.typepad.com/mewcomm/2008/09/i-dont-like-you.html

Social networking is a powerful and substantive tool. But without exclusion and filters it’s value diminishes.
