I use TweetDeck and run a “level one” list with just one column showing. That way I only see you and about a dozen others. Everyone else’s tweets & Faceborg updates appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen for five seconds and then fade away. I’ve decided that’s the best way to experience this thing anyway. Fade in, fade out, go away. Nice.
If you dislike the way google started adding twitter results in that godawful scrolling box on results pages, you can use firefox, greasemonkey, and a userscript some freak wrote to get rid of them.
I keep mine locked, but only because I frequently bitch about clients at work. I’ll add anyone who’s not obviously a spammer, or the creepy right-wing guy who opposes gay marriage and keeps sending me follow requests.

I’ve had an account for around 6 months… not made one single tweet, yet still have 4 followers.
Which means, there are 4 insane people on this man’s internet who, quite frankly, scare me.

@D-Chance.: They’re probably spammers of some sort.
My tweets aren’t always coherent, but hey, it’s hard to pull off in under 140 characters.

Hey, do you follow http://twitter.com/Strwbrry_Blonde ? She’s a snarky lib delight, and she’s sane. Not enough of that goin’ around in the twitterverse, these days.
Yes, I desperately need another addictive, non productive activity that requires me to fuck constantly with an electronic device and all of the administrative crapola things that go with it and the service and the activity itself. I need yet another reason to finger my Blackberry all the frigging time. I need to be even more connected than I am. I need to be connected when I am asleep, or under anesthesia, or taking a dump.
Otherwise, I might accidentally smell a flower growing by the side of the road, or see a sunset, or read a book. And if that happens, the tourists win.
You can find me at http://twitter.com/TheGrandP. I don’t spend a lot of time tweeting but I do enjoy reading some of them. One of my favorites is Jesse Taylor of Pandagon. One of the funniest people I follow and a must read on Sunday’s if you are a football fan.
cdmarine. I used to tweet all the damn time. Even did a music show on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Lately, not so much. Maybe I’ll pick it back up.
I’m surprised that I was only already following two people here. Maybe there’s less of a Kossack/Balloon Juice crossover than I thought? (I am “hyperbolic pants explosion” at dkos, FYI.)
I also maintain a list of “Balloon-Juicers on Twitter,” so if you find me over there, feel free to follow the list! I’m off to go add a bunch of you now. :-)
My Twitter name is Lysana. But I’m thinking of splitting a few things off of that to another account, as at least half of that one’s traffic is Second Life and personal stuff with the rest being culture and politics.

John, maybe you should put your twitter link in the “contact” box. Like this:
I’d add the other links but I think the limit is three.
