Great post! I can totally relate to this following thing. At first I would follow everyone who followed me, but then my timeline got filled with ‘earn residual income without doing anything’ crap. So I would go through the list of who I was following and weed out ones that offered me no value or were basically spamming me in one way or another. I thought it was nice to have 700 followers apparently interested in what I was posting. But recently I started using my own account through bit.ly and noticed that almost nobody was clicking on anything! So I am starting to neglect my timeline more and more. I do find some use still though; Some local businesses offer deals, you can find local events fairly well and some companies offer decent support for software. So there is some value left in it for me but it seems less and less everyday. (by the way I found your site searching google for ‘standards compliant wordpress themes’) Have a good one!
