>> "Also, sometimes you follow people who you eventually find a bit boring, but your manners might dictate that you don't unfollow them if they're still following you."

Seems like that's a shame - I think it'd be great if each time someone tweeted something boring, their follow count dropped 10%. They might improve the quality of their tweets then.

The problem is that quality is relative to who is reading your tweets. There is at least one service like this. It doesn't really improve anything. People who use it just become self-censoring and clam up. Also by self-censoring based on who unfollows, you change your behavior too late.
