Field of 65

So Twitter is booming, and in the spirit of March Madness, I'm cutting down who I follow to a field of 65. Sorry, but I have to do it.

About a month and a half ago, I started feeling guilty that I had like a 150 followers, but was following less than half. So I started following most of the people that were following me - about 150. I also started another account for work and I follow a few people of the same people on both.

What happened?

I found that I was missing Tweets from the people I was most interested in, and being overloaded by Tweets by people I could care less about.

Twitter began to lose it's value to me, because it started to get too noisy. So I made the decision this weekend to start cutting. I think for me, a manageable size is about 65 or so.

So who will I follow?

Well, there are the originals:
@bradjward
@andrewcareaga
@rachelreuben
@nextsteph
@KarlynM
@kylejames
@tsand
and @fjgaylor

Then of course there are the locals,
@johncvermont
@sweetsega
@magichat
@buckyfelloni
@cbernier

And then of course @The_Real_Shaq

The rest, I don't know. I figure I've got a bout 50 slots available. We'll see how it goes. I just want to get more value out of this and getting more value, surprisingly, doesn't mean getting more followers.
