I usually check that too. When I find out someone is following me, I check to see if they have a bio, website, and follower/following ratio. Then I decide. @Kevin : how are you being notified of those tweets?

I also have a rule, though. I don't follow people if they're following 2x more people than are following them. If it's something like "Following 2500, 1250 Followers", then I'm pretty sure most of those 1250 are fellow spammers or bots, and I don't think I can get anything out of it. I still watch my @replies and if one of those people addresses me directly, then I follow them. That should be a post - twit-iquette. Hey Rob,

Instead of hearing one side of a lot of conversations, I now only cue in to @ replies between two people I am following.
