Keeping my numbers small has allowed me more time to actually talk with people and Twitter just became a lot more enjoyable for me.By the way, that's a nice piece you wrote on TwiTip. It has a lot of good pointers that in retrospect I wish I would have adhered to.

I’m still working on getting everyone added back that I want to, but I’m not rushing anything at the moment. Keeping my numbers small has allowed me more time to actually talk with people and Twitter just became a lot more enjoyable for me.

By the way, that’s a nice piece you wrote on TwiTip. It has a lot of good pointers that in retrospect I wish I would have adhered to.

(Glad to see I stayed on your whitelist!) For me, Twitter only works when I follow around 80 people.

Tim,

You’re right, and this is something I knew when I started my original Twitter account but let slip away.

Since I did the reboot, I have had the pleasure of interacting more with the people that I follow and find the experience to be much more enjoyable.

I have seen a lot of people get to this point. It is just a great reminder that it isn't about the numbers ... it is still about the relationships that you can actually create and manage. Have a good one ... Hey Rob, great post. I have seen a lot of people get to this point.
