One of the ways to manage a swarm of followers is to use one of the applications that allow you to sort people into groups. E.g. I have groups for Australian Businesswomen's Network members (cause I want to be able to catch their tweets), People to Watch (for thought-leaders that I follow) and another for Friends. You may want consider one of these free tools. Twhirl ---- http://www.twhirl.org) Seesmic Desktop ---- http://www.seesmic.com) Tweet Deck ---- http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/

I'll keep my eye out for "The Whuffie Factor" :-) This is also something I've been pondering lately, as I take my slow and steady steps through Facebook and Twitter. In Facebook, it means taking the time to read other people's posts and respond or comment. In Twitter it means visiting each new follower's Twitter page and website or blog (if they have one), finding something that resonates for me, then ... and only then .... following back and sending a personal DM to acknowledge my appreciation of something I read. Already this is proving to take more time than I sometimes can spare - meaning I lag behind in the immediacy of my contact with people. :-) I'm certainly wondering how on earth those with thousands of followers or friend are actually making any durable connections at all, except perhaps with a select few. But it's definitely reassuring to learn that, according to Tara's dot points, I'm doing all I can to 'make whuffie' as best I can. :-)
