Following Back on Twitter to be Withdrawn

In a nutshell: Starting September 4, I will not follow anyone back anymore. People who I followed back before this date will not be unfollowed (as long as they are still active), but no more will be followed back.

I have decided to withdraw from following people back on Twitter. This is scheduled to go in effect on Sunday, September 4, 2011. Any users who I followed back up to that point will not be unfollowed if they still are active and still following me (see below). However, no new users will be followed back.

Users who will be unfollowed (or, until September 4, will not be followed back) include, but is not limited to:
- users who post nothing but obvious spam.
- users who unfollow me after I followed back.
- users who are inactive for 90 days.
- users who have 0 tweets.
- users who post too many tweets at once (most, if not all, updates on my stream are from them).
- users who post nothing but quotes.
- users who post nothing but links to their own websites or websites for their organizations.
- users who spam my direct messages box
