It's the conversation. Without a dialogue it's just a massive amount of noise. - Richard A. from twhirl

What is important is who you follow to listen. What happens is people follow you that listen as well. Sometimes it is just follow back but I think that is temporary while we learn. Its like meeting someone for the first time and then deciding whether or not to take it to any next step. Maybe? - Ben Watson from twhirl

I still think it depends why you're on Twitter. Lots of people use it for business, fair enough, I use it for entertainment and to see what's happening around and about, I like a random mix of people, the madder the better in some cases, I find it fascinating, the psychology and pathology of the crowd and the various streams of consciousness. But then that's just me :) - Nicola Quinn

If I had to answer that question, it's "who." Being followed is great, but the people you follow following you back is most gratifying, because you are interested in what they have to say - Doug Haslam from twhirl

Who you follow. I use twitter as a source of information so being followed only tells me that someone finds me interesting. :P - ralphsaunders from twhirl

For keeping abreast of the conversation, absolutely who I follow. But if I were a company I'd be more interested in who is following me and why. - Wendy Peters from twhirl
