whilst I dont want to join in the swombat bashing ;) I do also tend to unfollow over the top tweeters. I stopped following Kawasaki and plan to stop following R. Scoble. Whilst thye do tweet useful stuff it is lost in a mountain of rubbish.

The real value of twitter is in the 10 - 30 posts a day tweeters who only post valuable content (or rants or w/e).

Totally agree. Guy Kawasaki's Twitter account is basically a pile of spam. I never understood why people were interesting in Scoble in the first place.

I do tend to stick within the 10-30 limit.
