Decided to follow no more than 250 people on Twitter. If you got bumped, blame @willyf , who just made a good case for me to follow him. :) — Charlie O'Donnell (@ceonyc) June 30, 2008. Just about 10 years ago, I tried hard to keep my Twitter follows to a manageable amount--to people I actually cared about following and either already knew or wanted to get to know in person. 5000+ follows later and I've failed miserably.
