Useful criteria for following a Twitter account?

Jack Yan, or @jackyan, shares his criteria for deciding who to follow on Twitter and it's almost like I wrote it as use a similar process.

Jack Yan: the Persuader Blog: My top 10 criteria for following a Twitter account

At first I followed people I knew from blogging, or a few celebs I liked, but that's starting to change. I now have Twitter only connections but also sometimes add their blogs to my reader. Time will tell how long Twitter remains a fascination but I suspect it may become a regular component of my on-line life

That certainly isn't what I thought before using it. Remember the Twit-skeptic post just a few months ago? I'd be interested to hear what you think of Twitter? Next great thing or a flash in the pan? Leave a comment or tweet to let me know!

I only "know" Jack via blogging and email but we share many common interests. He's mostly in Wellington so we've not yet met but I have to go there* later this year so will do something about that. My only worry is according to Twittersheep @robincapper is mostly jackyan!

* I just got a Bruce McLaren Trust newsletter which said Te Papa, our National Museum in Wellington, will host a Formula 1 related Design Exhibition later this year.
