I am relatively new to Twitter. I am not interested in the texture of someone's bread or if their kid put their shoes on wrong. I am interested in web technology, photography and music. So when I get a "follow" notice, I look at who it is and how often they twitter what they twitter about. Since I am not interested in creating a huge 'following' by people who don't care about what I do, I simply ignore them. Rude? Get real...
To Follow or Not to Follow; that is the Question: "Unless you are a Twitter user who immediately follows everyone who follows you, we have all experienced losing Followers because, for whatever reason, we did not follow them in return. To be sure, deciding when to follow or not follow is not only a personal decision, but one which is driving a growing debate in the Blogosphere. How this debate plays out may have a profound impact on how people use Twitter and how the service will grow in the future.
Although it’s still early in Twitter’s Evolution, the Follow Question is one that has no easy answer. Indeed, deciding whether or not to follow someone is a vexing question for both new and veteran Tweeters alike. The decision ultimately depends on a variety of factors as numerous as there are users of the service and while there isn’t any one right answer, two diametrically opposed positions have emerged. The challenge is that both present valid arguments. For analysis, I call them Reciprocals and Discriminators."
