Wow great list. It always helps finding Twitter tools that do it all for you. I like all the apps that help you visualize what is happening. Great post keep it up!

Since getting onto Twitter in fall 2008 I’ve treated it like a river from which I sip. My use has evolved from much more sense of connection and getting to know the people I followed early (you’re one of them)to saying I’ll just sip from the river when I have time. This has made my use fairly random and episodic.

I’ve gone through and put people onto lists; I periodically unfollow someone when I’m not seeing much of interest in recent tweets; I did a big “scrub” a while back; and now thanks to the “Who to Follow” suggestions I’m once again following far too many.

Your post convinces me it’s time to do some serious weed-whacking and get back to a manageable number, then make more strategic use of lists. I don’t have to worry about missing the good stuff–there’s more than I could ever digest anyway!

Love all the ideas here for network analysis on twitter.

In particular, great tip about taking the analysis and creating appropriate twitter lists.
