Twitter just informed me that Warren Whitlock is following me. Warren seems like a great guy, but he's following over 62,000 people. What does that even mean? What's the point? Do you think he's got relationships with 62,000 people? Does he read their tweets? I follow less than 100 people and I can't keep up.
What if you follow just a few people, but you have hordes following you. What do you do when they tweet at you? Ignore them? What kind of relationship is that?

IIRC, it's a tactic to bloat your numbers-- assume just one in a hundred of those who you follow follow you back. That would be 620 followers, and I bet it can be programmed to auto-follow anything vaguely related.
