There is a lot of talking about Fake following at the moment, so I posted a Tweet about that I’ve cleaned up who I follows on Twitter. I don’t want to follow users that’s not giving something back to me, but it doesn’t matter if a user not follows you back if that user is great for News and Information. In that case the user gives knowledge back to you.
Here are some of all the replies and conversations I’ve got on that Tweet:
svartling: Cleaned up on who I follows. Why follow them who not follows back or never answers or make contact?

Avinio: This is what i've done last week. especially those who ask a question/need help, and never reply you back.

mistrust: re following: twitter is maybe becoming the new myspace where people just collect followers/friends and never contact them
