<p>I will be revamping this site in the next few weeks to make it more &#8220;Twitter&#8221; centric. This will include integration of my tweet stream into my main blog as well as some other changes.</p>
<p>I will also in the next few weeks substantially change the offerings from this site.</p>
<p>Stay tuned &#8230; You will enjoy the changes, I guarantee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Andrew Wee has posted a <a href="http://www.revenews.com/andrewwee/filtering-the-social-networks-social-acceptance-relevance-and-trimming-the-fat/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.revenews.com/andrewwee/filtering-the-social-networks-social-acceptance-relevance-and-trimming-the-fat/?referer=');">great article</a> on how should you measure your social network in 2009.</p>
<p>After reading the article, I came away wondering just how good a job had I done in following &#8220;quality&#8221; Twitter users. In many ways this is a personal value judgment, but if you really want to make sure that you are managing your social network you need to set some ground rules for yourself.</p>
<p>So here is the the critiera that I used in my own personal evaluation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Does this appear to be a real person or is it an automaton?</li>
<li>Does this user appear to have similar interests to myself?</li>
<li>Does this user seem to actually contribute to the dialog?</li>
<li>Does the user seem to only want to sell me something?</li>
<li>If I was not following this person on Twitter would I follow their RSS feed?</li>
</ul>
<p>Well after setting that criteria, I did some digging into the users that I follow. It seems that I have not always had the same standards. However, it appears that it is nowhere as bad as I thought it could be.</p>
<p>So have you spent the time lately to go through your twitter account and audit the users that you follow? You might want to take the time today and do a little trimming.</p>
