I meant to mention the "set up another account as a follow-only one" -- For a project we're working on at Hammock, we've done just that. The RSS feed from it is powering content for an event-related site feature. As I'm building back my list, I've already thought that my personal follow list is probably going to be less a currated list for others and more a currated list for me. However, I may build back some of those category lists of "my" Suggested User List. Although I'd like another platform than Twitter to do that. Maybe someone could create a White Label "WeFollow.com" for me. Anybody? Anybody? Second: My Kindle related following list is you. @Aaron – Thanks for reminding me.

A couple of thoughts. 1. I have tried to limit my twitter following list (and Facebook friends, and MyBlogLog friends and so on) in part based on the theory about social networks (the real-life kind) that says an average person can only really interact with about 150 to 175 other individuals at a time. Of course, now I can't find a citation for that research. 2. I know it would super-geeky and perhaps insanely complex, but did you give any thought to opening a couple of Twitter accounts, segregating different categories of followers among them and then using a program like Tweetdeck to monitor them simultaneously. I ask because if Jay's notion about curated lists is correct, you might be burying your otherwise valuable selections by mixing them together. 3. Following that thought, I've decided that now the race is on. I'm going to post about the best people to follow on Twitter who write about the future of media/journalism and another on ebooks and the Kindle. Kind of a my list's bigger than yours thing :P Great post. A couple of thoughts.
