I have two accounts. On one I follow back everyone who follows me. On the other I follow about 1/4 of the people who follow me. I have more followers and more interaction on the one I don’t follow back on. Add to that the fact that auto-follow leaves you wide open to spammers I can’t see the point in doing it.

Of course NO.

Some people can just tweet a bunch of rubbish and you will not be able to follow all of it and might miss something important that someone tweeted.

Defenitely a NO!

There are too many spammers, just hoping for people to autofollow.

I don’t care who follow me, but I only follow those back, i really want to follow back.

I automatically follow everyone who follows me. I often find that following one person leads to other people following you.

To manage my subscriptions I use Tweetdeck, http://tweetdeck.com I can then group the accounts into different columns – eg family, business contacts, and I’m interested in UK politics, books etc.

Then when I’m having coffee I go through my main Twitter account and scroll through the dozens of tweets to see if anything interests me. There often is.

Using the search facility on Tweetdeck I can follow a particular topic or research topics and contacts for my main stream writing.

Do you auto follow every RSS feed you see?
