Thoughtful discussion on whether Twitter's addition of lists means you should follow all your followers (via Personal Branding 101) - http://personalbranding101.com/new-rul...
I personally come down on the side of only following people you want to hear from. A social network is good to me only if it has a high signal/noise ratio, and I don't feel a need to have numbers for numbers sake. - David Lounsbury from Bookmarklet
