Twitter Lists - an alternative to following people - tip
The trouble with following more than 300 people who tweet reasonably often is you start missing really important posts. Twitter lists offer a way to watch groups of people without actually following.
By only following people you really need to keep a daily watch on, adding everyone else in lists (and unfollowing them), you are less likely to miss vital tweets.
Equally a list could contain a select few people and serve the same purpose.
Always remember that people cannot direct message you unless you are following them.
