I just saw Robert Scoble present at the Media Relations Summit and a big part of his presentation was about Twitter. Then today this popped up.
Robert Scoble Scobleizer I just told @ev to turn off my autofollow script. 20,000 followers is enough. I’m seeing one new Tweet every second, I can’t deal with more.

I have no idea how overwhelming it must be to try and follow 20,000 people. Obviously most of us won’t even try. I just passed the 300 mark.
The great thing about Social Media is that it will scale as far as you want/need it to. Then you back off. Then when/if you’re ready, you start scaling again. The same is true of people and companies.
Start small and scale it organically. You don’t have to drink from the fire hose.
