After about 6 months of this I finally cracked and unfollowed 80% of the people I was following. I dropped about 350-400 people following me but I didn't worry.. my feed was nice and clean again and I only heard from the people I cared about. At the moment I think I'm back up to about 100 people that I'm following and it's still quite manageable. I also found that by not following the people that I don't care about my followers list is a lot more responsive (no more "I'll follow you if you follow me" crap). I get much better click through rates with 450 followers than I was with 800+ .-= Josh Kohlbach´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CodeMyOwnRoad/~3/9myFkvTmzn8/" rel="nofollow">Domains, Hosting and Making It All Repeatable</a> =-.
