Originally I wanted to keep my twitter network to a manageable amount of 60. I found that I was never getting feedback when I needed it the most. Now I am over 100 and there is always someone to help. While many like the social aspect of seeing that someone is making pancakes (Tim Lauer), I tend to stick with professional tweets. The problem is that I don't become as personable to some in the network like Tim Laurer does... Although he is much more popular than just pancakes!

I think you really hit the key points. I am now following (and am followed by) more than 300 people. Contrary to what you might think, I have found that increasing my numbers has increased Twitter's usefulness. Not everyone is on at the same time, so the more people you follow the more likely you are to get an answer to a question or a problem. There are also lots of people out there offering resources and links of interest. There are times when too much is going on and there are people who I have stopped following. My twitter network is G rated, so swearing will definitely cut you off my list. I also use the network primarily for professional resources. I'm not that interested in non-professional tweets. Too many of those just make for a lot of static on the line. If you are looking for more people to follow check out my following list. You already follow me and I follow you (that is how I came to this blog post). For other's reading this comment feel free to follow me, I'm lizbdavis on Twitter (and most everywhere else). -Liz Patrick,

Twitter is one of those things that sounds useless in theory but is surprisingly fun, educational and useful in practice. Oh no, my “being lazy” tweet is immortalized above for all time! ;)
