One of the way to achieve that is through automatically follow those who follow you. (I delegate this automation to TweetLater). Yo might run the risk of following a bot or two – but TweetLater allows you to “vet” your new followers offering about 72 hours to block bots and spammers.

In the past, before finding a suitable Twitter client, it was very difficult to “filter” the noise in the main time line. Recently, with the help of Seesmic Desktop, I have graduated and moved my Twitter activity away from web. If you have more than 100 active followers I would recommend you to try one of the Twitter Clients.

Meanwhile I have experimented with autofollow feature of TweetLater, disabling the feature (while unfollowing everyone who did not follow me back) and re-enabling the autofollow feature again:

I probably should stress that my manual to auto-follow ratio is 5%/95%. Over the period of last month I followed manually about 5% of Twitter users while I “auto-followed” 95%.

I would love to know what (if any) tasks do you automate for your Twitter account and what tools are you using for doing so?Similar Posts:
