Just for your reference, under settings -> notices, you can set it so you only receive the @replies if you know the person being replied to. I find this extremely useful as it allows me to follow people like @Scobleizer I use a very similar technique to yours when choosing who to follow :) and it's clear you've already noticed that twitter spam accounts are either marketing or porn :P Since I don't have an iphone, my personal method of filtering twitter data is to subscribe to many people I may find interesting and then turn on SMS notices only for my close friends. In this way, I create my own sort of 'public timeline' but made up of people I find interesting :) I'm sure a similar effect could be achieved with one of the many many twitter apps out there. When I go to GDC I plan on upping the number of people I receive SMS from, that way it'll be easy to reply to people tweeting about GDC topics. Twitter is great to gage the overall feel of a community, so hopefully if there's a must-see event I'll get a couple tweets about it and stay in the know. Best, Sarah Hi Jake!

I found a cool solution for organising tweets into things like groups as well as filtering info etc (i.e. I have a Game Dev group, Business group, general group and so on), so thought I'd share the link courtesy of a fellow twitter Jesse (http://twitter.com/JesseNewhart): http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/ Hope you find it as useful as I have...
