I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do because I have 5 twitter accounts - all in different niches - and only so much time. I opted for a software program that allows me to target people asking questions or airing problems that they need solved. At least that way I can attempt to answer questions or help in their area of interest which would be the same as mine. I'm sure my list won't grow as fast but that isn't really my intent. I looked at so many programs and it seemed like this was the only one that made it easy. its ironically called autofollowscript. I'll let you know how it works out. Very interesting discussion.

I agree that as a user of twitter, I should add value and build trust through my content, catalysing response; but higher numbers equates to more impressions in my mind. Twitter lists cut through the noise and filter out the crap right?
