Trying to follow the whole thing is insane. Not exposing yourself to what's there is, too.

I may have misunderstood you. I thought by "whole thing" you were referring to everything that shows up in your timeline, but seems you probably were referring to all of Twitter.
Like I said, I follow 300 people. But I don't break my ass to read everything by everyone. I dip in and out, because anything interesting is going to pop back up eventually and having that broad a cross-section of people to follow exposes me to more and more interesting people.
It's only insane when you follow a huge amount of people and/or people who tweet a lot (or worse, both).
I'll make exception for a handful of companies/organizations (e.g. WSJ, NASA) but generally I won't follow accounts that tweet more than once or twice a day.
