My approach to combat the irrelevancy and actually keep Twitter as a useful tool has been to be very selective of those I follow. I have several close friends that I <i>do not</i> follow for one reason or another. Probably because they do a lot of what you outlined before. I like to keep my list of "following" to a hundred, but it's been creeping up lately. I use Twitterific, so any replies come right to me. I also track my name and a few other topics straight to my phone, so I'm not missing out on conversations that I want to be a part of. I just cut down the noise level. E.
