"Good people to follow" is fairly subjective. For me I follow basically two types: those in my field, and locals. A sprinkling of newsy types and geeky celebs.
I've been on Twitter a while. It's been good at expanding work connections. I even just had a new coworker spend a couple nights at my place while she waits for her apartment to be ready. I met this woman on Twitter via another user that (at the time) I didn't know IRL.
As for it being like Facebook; I know everyone on my Facebook page. I know a fraction of the people I follow/am followed by on Twitter. In fact those I know IRL tend to use it the least. My audience is different for both which is one reason I choose not to feed my tweets to FB.
Anyone attend tweetups or twestivals in your towns? I've been going regularly since February though I feel like the odd one out since most others attending are geeky guys (ok, I'm geeky, but not like that).

I'm obsessed with Twitter. It's the best marketing/networking tool I've ever come across (and yes MooseGirl, I go to Tweetups). I'm at @SecndCitySoiree - most of my Tweets are about food, party planning, and the like.

You know what's scary...
I just installed the Tweetie 2 app and one of the features it has is to allow you to find nearby twitterers...OMG within a 15 block radius there are at least 30 people twittering...hehe
Twitter voyeurism...hmmmm

RT means "ReTweet" - it's a way of repeating what someone else said, and giving them credit.
Remember, Twitter is just a big cocktail party. The point is to engage with others.

two points i want to share:
1. my frustration of searching for tweets from "everyone near me" and getting the most ridiculous, uneducated, asinine tweets. ugh.
2. according to a Pew study, Black women making less than 30K as recent grads are top tweeters: http://www.theroot.com/buzz/pew-stud...as-top-twitter
i didn't know i had the potential to be a top user of any social networking site, especially since most of my tweets are RTs and replies....
oh wait, am i feeding the "black women always have something to say about something" stereotype though Twitter? OH NOES!!!!1!
all of that to say, follow me! http://www.twitter.com/tld221

I'm going to do that because I don't think it's a bad thing to have something to say about everything. 
OK - my twitter is wonky so I can't follow you now. Later.
