> you can build your own network of interesting people by following only what genuinely interests you

See that sounds great in theory but in practice I have never figured out how that actually works. Any tips?

As a frontend developer it has been quite easy since the industry leaders are all very active on Twitter. My rule of thumb is to unfollow people who tweet out of context to why I follow them.

Yikes in that case I'm following wrong AND tweeting wrong. I tweet about whatever - treat it like Facebook - probably a bad idea :S

Yep. Twitter should have incorporated the concept of user switching to their UI by now. Trying to avoid (US/gender) politics by unfollowing technical leader people has left me with a, let's say, very manageable set of people to follow.

This would be largely avoidable if there was easy way to switch to a secondary/tertiary user to vent off thoughts that aren't the beef.
