John Antonios created a cool flow chart about the process by which he determines who to follow on Twitter.
I’ve never really thought about the process of following people; it’s always been more of an intuitive kind of thing but looking at John’s chart does a great job of showing the different hurdles that someone needs to get through to become a follower.

You can see a larger version of the chart here.

Y, and so now how do I cull the number of people I am following? Any suggestions? It could take a long time by hand.
hey Mark, just wanted to show my gratitude for reposting the flowchart – i''m glad you found it to be useful and worth sharing with your readers.
I agree with the chart and I think I apply the same philosophy (without having it codified). The most important factor for me is the contents of the tweets, it has to be rich, relevant and really informative in terms of news, Africa-related topics, engineering, health, business, entrepreneurship and mainly social entrepreneurship (my interests).
Thanks
