I don't spend much time searching for keywords and such to dictate what I tweet or retweet about though, I prefer to read and respond. It's not as cost effective timewise as people who autoreply or bots to acquire followers but as Graham say's it's better if you care about the quality of people you follow or perhaps think of them as people rather than another # in your quest for followers.

Im still very active in tracking down new people to follow, I simply don't totally rely on getting the followers. Generally I like to be in control of who I spend my time talking with, so the best way to do that is to go out and find them people yourself. That's the only real way to ensure a good mixture. Best not to rely on one way or another. Graham Couldn’t agree more. Im still very active in tracking down new people to follow, I simply don’t totally rely on getting the followers.
