			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m thinking that this weekend I&#8217;m going to re-do my friends and followers list on twitter &#8230; and perhaps protect my feed.  </p>
<p>First of all there&#8217;s a bit of noise &#8230; followers/friends that I cannot for the life of me remember how/why we know each other.  Secondly I have some followers who, while I like them very much, I may not want following my status day to day.  Lastly (and most importantly), the previous point has made me consider that there may be a small number of people I follow that for whatever reason I have now mentally put into the &#8220;didn&#8217;t really have a fair opt-in choice&#8221; as to my following them.</p>
<p>So, while I may unfollow some accounts I&#8217;m not interested in &#8230;  be aware that If I unfollow you, this may not be the reason.  I may simply have decided that you deserve a new &#8216;opt-in&#8217; choice around me following your status day to day. </p>
<p>If I remove you as a follower please don&#8217;t take this personally and simply re-follow me if you are interested or shoot me a &#8220;WTF&#8221; email and I&#8217;ll (probably) re-add/un-block you.  </p>
<p>Most importantly, if I stop following you &#8211; please don&#8217;t take this personally either &#8211; shoot me a &#8220;WTF&#8221; email and I&#8217;ll re-follow.  And lastly, If I do un-follow you and then later send a new follow request &#8211; you are free to decline/ignore it. <img src='http://davidmeade.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />    </p>
<p>Anyway, I may or may not get this done this weekend, but its a safe bet I&#8217;ll be doing some list pruning in the future.  If these actions leaving you thinking &#8220;WTF&#8221;, just shoot me an email and it&#8217;ll all be made well again. <img src='http://davidmeade.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
