I don't filter other than to put my 'local' followers together so I can track their questions to me more easily. Otherwise, I tend to enjoy the randomness of my Twitter stream; right now I've got everyone from an expectant dad who's wife is in the labour ward to a discussion on suicide, to myriad links (including yours). I may not read them all but their all worth my attention to decide whether I want to peruse them further or not. Twitter is like wading through a river for me; it's there to be jumped in and enjoyed. If people annoy me, or I find I'm just not interested in their tweets (and I'm not saying their boring, just not relevant to me) then I unfollow.
Thanks for your votes, comments and little side debate. - that's why I like using this site! Anyway, the results are looking intersting. Maybe my little devil will survive.
Your parents were very forward-thinking - it's worrying how disposable Society has become. Although I think recycling commitment in the UK can also depend on how pro-active the local council is in promoting it and helping people.
