I think that the same happened with the regular blogging, the so-called "influential bloggers" started to blog about their personal life too and that made them less relevant after all. Please people: run 2 twitter accounts one personal for your friend and one with "professional" info only where you would not spam me with your life ! Hi,

If they appear 3+ times in succession, (without being interrupted by someone else's tweets) then they are flooding my stream and get the boot. This works for someone who follows roughly sixty people - there must be an equation to adjust the number based on following more/less people. I follow a strict rule in terms of who I follow.

It's a question of 'brand v personal' use in my opinion. If I'm following John Motson I should expect that 90% of his posts will be football related. Similarly, if I'm following Joe Bloggs I can expect that his tweets will be on a variety of random subjects. At the end of the day it all boils down to your intended use of Twiiter. For me, my tweets are about me and what I'm interested in (why would it be anything else) - if people that follow me are not interested then unfollow me. I really wont be that fussed. Kev, nice post.
